From Cosmopolitanism to Human Rights
Olivier de Frouville, University Paris II, France This book explores a democratic theory of international law. Characterised by a back-andforth between theory and practice, it explores the question from 2 perspectives: a theoretical level which reflects and criticises the categories, words and concepts through which international law is understood, and a more applied level focussing on ‘cosmopolitan building sites’ or the practical features of the law, such as the role of civil society in international organisations or reform of the UN Security Council. Though written for an academic audience, it also be of interest to those concerned with how international governance is developing.

The Law Against War
Olivier Corten, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium The aim of this book is to study the prohibition of the use of armed force in contemporary international law. Academics and commentators regularly note how the field has changed dramatically in the last quarter century. This book argues that, while marked changes have occurred, the legal regime laid down by the Charter remains founded on a genuine jus contra bellum. 'The law against war', as in the title of this book, is at once a literal rendering of the Latin and way of conveying the spirit of a rule that remains one of the cornerstones of public international law.

The Limits of Private Governance
Norms and Rules in a Mediterranean Fishery
Florian Grisel, University of Oxford, UK Is there a future for the law? This book addresses one of the most fascinating questions raised by social scientists in the past few decades. Since the 1980s, socio-legal scholars have argued that governance through social networks (or 'private governance') offers an alternative to regulation by the law. This book supplements this optimistic analysis by assessing the longterm efficiency of a private order in the fishery of Marseille. Based on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, the book provides an evolutionary account of private governance, and casts light on forces that disrupt the functioning of private orders as governance entities.
