Reviews

`The second edition seeks to make sense of an explosion in state practice, judicial opinions, UN-sponsored activity, emerging cognate doctrines, and scholarly commentary, all of which have placed occupation law at the centre of some of the thorniest (and most politicized) debates in contemporary international law.'
Gregory Fox, European Journal of International Law
