Book Description
John Murphy offers an insightful analysis of why the United States does not always accept the rule of law in inteational affairs, even though it has made immense contributions to its creation, adoption, and implementation. Examining the reasons for this failure, John Murphy analyses a number of cases, not to make a case that the United States has been an inteational outlaw, but to illustrate the wide-ranging difficulties standing in the way of US adherence to the rule of law. He explains how the nature of the US legal system and the idiosyncrasies of the inteational legal process combine to compound problems for the United States, and he explores several alteative scenarios for the position of the United States vis-à-vis inteational law. This timely book offers a much needed examination of US attitudes and practices and makes a major contribution to the contemporary literature in inteational law and inteational relations.
