{"product_id":"the-art-of-law-in-mary-ellen-oconnell-9781108445405","title":"The Art of Law in the International Community","description":"International law evolved to end and prevent armed conflict as much as for any other reason. Yet, the law against war appears weaker today than ever in its long history, evidenced by raging armed conflicts in which people are killed, injured, and forcibly displaced. The environment is devastated, and the planet impoverished. These consequences can be traced to the dominant ideology of realism. In 1946, Hersch Lauterpacht challenged that ideology by contrasting it with the idea of international law, composed of natural law, positive law, and process theory. The Art of Law in the International Community revives his vision, rebuilding the understanding of why international law binds, what its norms require, and how courts are the ideal substitutes for war. The secret to the renewal of international law lies in revitalizing the moral foundation of natural law through drawing on aesthetic philosophy and the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Ellen O'Connell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108445403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108445405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Mary Ellen O'Connell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982400323839,"sku":"9781108445405","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c30bca50-fb0e-4591-8a06-066acaf793c2.jpg?v=1683260941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-law-in-mary-ellen-oconnell-9781108445405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
