This raises a separation of powers question regarding law-making powers. In this book the author considers that specific issue. In contrast to other studies on domestic courts applying international law, the author?s constitutional orientation focusses on the presumptions concerning the distribution of state power. He collects and examines relevant decisions regarding treaties and customary international law from four leading legal systems, the US, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. Those decisions reveal that institutional and conceptual allegiances to constitutional structures render it difficult for courts to see their mandates and powers in terms other than exclusively national. What follows is a constitutional asymmetry between international law and national law generating an inevitable dualism which cannot necessarily be overcome by express constitutional provisions accommodating international law. The separation of powers thus frames the two principal horizons for any future, practicable attempts at integrating of the two legal orders. Either established concepts of constitutional law and constitutionalism will have to be revised, or what international law may do within a municipal legal system will have to be recalculated. This book offers new insight and new approaches in dealing with international law questions before domestic courts. It is an interesting work of reference and a basis for further debate on this topic among academics and practitioners in the fields of international and constitutional law.   David Haljan  is a Senior Research Fellow with the Institute of Constitutional Law, University of Leuven. 606 $aMediation 606 $aDispute resolution (Law) 606 $aConflict management 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R22000 606 $aConstitutional Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028 615 0$aMediation. 615 0$aDispute resolution (Law). 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 14$aDispute Resolution, Mediation, Arbitration. 615 24$aConstitutional Law. 676 $a341.7/3 700 $aHaljan$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0748662 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438342503321 996 $aSeparating Powers: International Law before National Courts$92496979 997 $aUNINA
