Charlotte Ku (University of Illinois) has posted Strengthening International Law’s Capacity to Govern through Multilayered Strategic Partnerships (South African Yearbook of International Law, Vol. 33, pp. 107-123, 2007) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This article examines the multiple layers at which international law now functions – the international, national, and sub-national. It identifies both public and private institutions and practices that have emerged to carry out international law’s normative objectives. It ends with a call to expand the formal structure of international law to include the realities of a disaggregated state, a non-hierarchical system of governance, and a transnational political space.
It is a pleasure to recommend Ku’s sophisticated work.
