Praise for Law Among Nations
Thorough, insightful, informative, and readable, Law Among Nations is the gold standard for international law textbooks. This text includes a brilliant compilation of legal material, and is essential reading for students of international law at all levels.

I have used Law Among Nations for several years in undergraduate law and international relations classes and found that it works well for instructor and students alike. The coverage is comprehensive, including environmental law and economic law as well as the more traditional topics, with clear explanations of complex international law subjects. I am looking forward to using the new edition.

Larry Taulbee has updated and improved this International Law text, which continues to be the very best summation of the legal approach. It allows nonlawyers to understand how the different states (countries), as well as non-state actors and even individuals, are regulated by the laws that most states follow most of the time, and the rules that persist even when those rules are ignored. Students are exposed to legal cases, but unlike a law school text, it provides clear explanations of the complicated rules that have emerged over centuries but continue to become more complicated and relevant to everyone everywhere, whether or not they realize it.
