262 pages ; 24 cm. "In this book, Jack L. Goldsmith and Eric A. Posner argue that international law does matter but that it is less powerful and less significant than public officials, legal experts, and the media believe. International law, they contend, is simply a product of states pursuing their interests on the international stage. It does not pull states toward compliance contrary to their interests, and the possibilities for what it can achieve are limited. It follows that many global problems are simply unsolvable."--Jacket Customary international law A theory of customary international law Case studies Treaties A theory of international agreements Human rights International trade Rhetoric, morality, and international law A theory of international rhetoric International law and moral obligation Liberal democracy and cosmopolitan duty Conclusion Jack L.
