Each requires a different mode of decisionmaking, each further complicated by the stress of radical change. This General Course is concerned, first, with understanding and assessing the aggregate performance of the world constitutive process, in present and projected constructs; second, with providing the intellectual tools that can enable those involved in making decisions to be more effective, whether they are operating in islands or offshore; and, third, with inquiring into ways the international legal system might be improved. Reisman identifies the individual as the ultimate actor in international law and explores the dilemmas of meaningful individual commitment to a world order of human dignity amidst interlocking communities and overlapping loyalties.The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law / Les livres de poche de l'Académie de droit international de La Haye16.International lawConstitutional lawInternational unificationElectronic books.International law.Constitutional lawInternational unification.241.697Reisman Michael951087Hague Academy of International Law.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462834103321The quest for world order and human dignity in the twenty-first century2150127UNINA
