This book examines whether the predominance of the United States is leading to foundational change in the international legal system. A range of leading scholars in international law and international relations consider six foundational areas that could be undergoing change, including international community, sovereign equality, the law governing the use of force, and compliance. The authors demonstrate that the effects of US predominance on the foundations of international law are real, but also intensely complex. This complexity is due, in part, to a multitude of actors exercising influential roles. And it is also due to the continued vitality and remaining functionality of the international legal system itself. This system limits the influence of individual states, while stretching and bending in response to the changing geopolitics of our time. 517 3 $aUnited States Hegemony & the Foundations of International Law 606 $aInternational law$xHistory 606 $aInternational law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBalance of power$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 615 0$aInternational law$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational law$xHistory. 615 0$aBalance of power$xHistory. 676 $a341/.09 702 $aByers$b Michael$f1966- 702 $aNolte$b Georg$f1959- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450029903321 996 $aUnited States hegemony and the foundations of international law$9671135 997 $aUNINA
