"This book contains a diverse collection of essays dealing with the fascinating issue of deference in international courts and tribunals... Gruszczynski and Werner's book provides a welcome and commendable contribution to the issue of judicial deference in international law generally, i.e. beyond the familiar fields of human rights and trade law." - Andrew Legg, The Journal of World Investment & Trade

"...Those with some knowledge of the WTO, EU, ECHR and investment legal regimes are in for a real treat, and will find here a veritable banquet of food for thought...The editors are to praise for taming, to the extent practicable, an intractable topic." - Filippo Fontanelli, EJRR

"This book is a welcome first foray into the study of the concept of judicial deference by tribunals to states and other bodies in disparate fields of international law. Providing inspiration for further research is one of the books achievements. Gruszczynski and Werner's book provides a welcome and commendable contribution to the issue of judicial deference in international law generally, i.e. beyond the familiar fields of human rights and trade law." - Andrew Legg, Essex Court Chambers London, The Journal of World Investment & Trade

"This book... has a comprehensive scope and, to a great extent, offers a good overview of the varying jurisprudence regarding the degree of scrutiny applied by international courts when reviewing States actions... Indeed, this excellent book provides insightful perspectives on how different international courts proceed to exercise their adjudicating power using standard of review and/or margin of appreciation as instruments for either judicial self-restraint or judicial activism... the book does an excellent job in showing the diversity of approaches adopted by different international courts." - Maria Alcover, World Trade Review
