The influence of international courts is ubiquitous, covering areas from the law of the sea to international criminal law. This judicialization of international law is often lauded for bringing effective global governance, upholding the rule of law, and protecting the right of individuals. Yetat what point does the omnipresence of the international judiciary shackle national sovereign freedom? And can the lack of political accountability be justified?Follesdal and Ulfstein bring together the creme de la creme of the legal academic world to ask the big questions for the international judiciary: whether they are there for mere dispute settlement or to set precedent, and how far they can enforce international obligations without impacting ondemocratic self-determination. | The Judicialization of Law by Andreas Follesdal, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
