The Decolonization of International Law State

The aim of this series is to publish important and original pieces of research on all aspects of international law. Topics that are given particular prominence are those which, while of interest to the academic lawyer, also have important bearing on issues which touch the actual conduct of international relations. Nonetheless, the series is wide in scope and includes monographs on the history and philosophical foundations of international law. Book jacket.

Matthew Craven is Professor of International Law, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
