Justice, International Law and Global Security: Justice, International Law and Global Security


About the Series

The global community is confronted with a wide variety of both traditional and non-traditional challenges to its security and even survival, as well as unprecedented opportunities for global socio-economic development. International law will play a major role as the international community attempts to address these challenges and opportunities while simultaneously attempting to create a just and secure global order capable of protecting and promoting the common good of the whole of mankind. The Routledge Series on Justice, International Law and Global Security is designed to encourage and highlight analytical, scholarly works that focus on the ways in which international law contributes to the management of a wide variety of contemporary challenges and opportunities, and helps to promote global justice and security. Toward that end, the series seeks to promote scholarship that addresses the critical linkage between the philosophical concept of justice as applied at the global level, international law, which in turn, must be based upon justice, and the ability of international law to establish normative standards of behaviour.
