"Runner-Up for the 2018 Chadwick Alger Prize, International Studies
Association’s International Organization Section"
"In this insightful book, Hurd argues that international law is
actually best understood as a tool of state power--less an
externally imposed constraint than a resource that governments
employ to authorize and legitimize what they want to do."---G. John
Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs
"Hurd proposes the compelling argument that law does not just
prohibit conduct, but it implicitly permits other conduct, so
states will push law to permit the conduct they wish to engage in.
. . . A refreshing dose of pragmatism."---Eleanor Healy-Birt,
interLib
"Essential reading for everyone who engages with international law
and international politics."---Rajeesh Kumar, Rest Journal
