Armin von Bogdandy, Max-Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Director, Ingo Venzke, Associate Professor, University of Amsterdam
`The expansive growth and influence of international courts,
tribunals, and quasi-judicial bodies (ICTs) fuels well deserved
interest across disciplines far beyond public international law,
including political science and political philosophy. How are we to
describe, explain, and assess this partial abdication of
sovereignty by the main actors of a (formerly) state-centric world
order? Armin von Bogdandy and Ingo Venzke have again joined forces
to
illuminate these profound issues of the functions and legitimacy of
ICTs, tying together and expanding on previous valuable
insights.'
Andreas Føllesdal, Opinio Juris
`In their dedicated work the two authors find that the received
function of international courts as inter-state dispute settlers
has been significantly expanded. Von Bogdandy and Venzke succeed in
striking a comprehensible tone, which shows the consequences [of
international adjudication] for the lives of the readers.'
Berthold Merkle, Neue Züricher Zeitung
`The international law study In Whose Name contributes to the
theory of global governance with rare analytical clarity. This book
will quickly become unavoidable reading. Thanks to this work, the
cosmopolitical landscape will be accessible for legal lay
persons.'
Elisabeth von Thadden, Die Zeit
