Jan Klabbers: International Law (3rd Edition) (Chinese Version):


 

Jan Klabbers, translated by Sun Shiyan and Jiang Juzheng, International Law (3rd Edition) (Chinese Version), Beijing: China Legal Publishing House, June 2024.

This book is written by Jan Klabbers, a professor of international law at the University of Helsinki, and translated into Chinese by Sun Shiyan, a professor at the Law School of the University of CASS, a research fellow at CASS Institute of International Law, and the deputy director of the CASS Center for Human Rights Studies, and Jiang Juzheng, a Ph.D. candidate at the Law School of the University of CASS.

The book sets out the theories and assumptions that make up the international legal system, while introducing the history and cases that make up its practice, encouraging students to view international law as a dynamic system of organizing the world. Bringing international law back to its first principles, it is organized around the following questions: Where does it come from? To whom does it apply? And how does it resolve conflict? The book organically integrates international law theories and rules into the discussion of relevant issues, uses a large number of cases and examples in a highly generalized manner, and strives to strike a balance between the detailed content and the simplicity of the introduction, so that readers can understand international law theories, rules and the overall situation of practice at a glance.
