Drawing primarily from the Marxian tradition, but also engaging with a range of contemporary work in critical theory and critical legal and human rights scholarship, this book analyses historical and recent international events and processes in order to challenge their orthodox interpretation. What is thus proposed is a new evaluation of international legal principles and human rights norms, the revolutionary content of which, it is argued, turns them from mere rhetoric into powerful weapons of struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessibly written, but theoretically sophisticated, this original and timely book is intended for critical teachers and students of international law, human rights, and international relations, as well as legal and political activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Bowring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904385990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904385998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge Cavendish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.41h x 6.19w x 0.91d","brand":"Bill Bowring","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065930690815,"sku":"9781904385998","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f24e9fd-1776-425b-ab3c-d0fe24cd4a78.jpg?v=1768677790","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-degradation-of-the-international-bill-bowring-9781904385998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
