"heartily recommended ... demonstrates the best sort of international collaborative cosmopolitanism ... it will be a source of challenging ideas and the subject of useful engagement as students develop their own perspective on the global possibilites for the rule of law." - Political Studies Review

"Samantha Besson and John Tasioulas have done lawyers, scholars and the public an enormous service in their volume The Philosophy of International Law by raising the level of debate about the moral and political standards that should govern the assessment (and development) of international institutions... Besson and Tasioulas, the guiding lights behind this project, represent a brilliant new generation of philosophers speaking directly to a new generation of lawyers about international law - and they have manafed to gather many of the most perceptive and serious scholars on the subject together in one volume... This is an exciting and very important volume." - Mortimer Sellers, Director of the Center for International and Comparative Law, University of Maryland

"[A]n impressive collection on conceptual issues in academic law." - John Morss, International and Comparative Law Quarterly

"...this is a deep, serious and profound work. It achieves its agenda-shaping aim, and looks set to become the standard work on its subject." - ASIL

"...what international law today needs is exactly the kind of systematic and normative thinking about its structures and implications that Besson, Tasioulas, and their co-authors exercise in this book." - Isabelle Ley, Global Law Books

"The Philosophy of International Law can be heartily recommended ... a source of challenging ideas" - Christopher May, International Relations

"Certainly the book ought to be considered a wonderful introduction to students in liberal philosophy and/or international law. Rarely delving into specialized terms of either academic tradition, the book is accessible and intellectually tich." - Sahib Singh, Austrian Review of International and European Law
