Andrea Bianchi is Professor of International Law and Head of the
International Law Department at The Graduate Institute of
International and Development Studies, Geneva. Previously, he was a
Professor at the Catholic University, Milan, Associate Professor at
the University of Parma and Professorial Lecturer in International
Law at the Bologna Centre of Johns Hopkins University. He has
researched and published extensively on various aspects of public
international
law, with a particular emphasis on theoretical and methodological
issues.
The book successfully makes international law theories - or better,
'different ways of thinking about international law' - accessible
and relatable ... If, as Bianchi states, the mission is to 'stir up
the water that we, as international lawyers, swim in' and encourage
more lawyers to interrogate their perceptions of what 'water' even
is, then this book might be read as a seductive enticement to get
our feet soaking wet.
*Hemy Mistry, The Modern Law Review*
[A] profound exposition of the intellectual underpinnings of an
entire discipline from a scholar whose familiartity with the
material is unparalleled. ... International Law Theories is an
essential reference point for anyone interested in serious
international legal scholarship. It is also a remarkably enjoyable
read. In no other single volume is such a breadth of critical
material on this vast subject orchestrated with this level of
clarity and perception - a truly indispensable resource.
*David Collins, Melbourn Journal of International Law*
[A]n insightful introduction and inquiry into theoretical thinking
in general, and international law theory in particular ... It has
the potential to successfully encourage its readers not only to
'think about law' but also to 'think about thinking about law'.
*Dana Burckardt, British Yearbook of International Law*
