Book Synopsis
QB: LEAVE THIS COPY AS IT ISIn this work, Thomas Franck, an authority on international law, considers why it is that rules within the international system are for the most part obeyed, even though they are not usually enforced. Much of his discussion is theoretical, based on discussions of laws that do not involve coercion, but Franck also makes use of many practical examples to show how international law works successfully even without formal codes or laws.

Trade Review
`Franck is the first person who truly attempts in a systematic manner to make the concept of `legitimacy' operational with regard to public international law ... Franck has written a beautiful and surely provocative book in readable style ... His position can offer a most welcome spark for a renewed debate on the philosophical and theoretical fundamentals of public international law. This, in and of itself, is a stellar achievement.'
