'Alexander Orakhelashvili's International Law and International
Politics is a courageous endeavour to find common ground between
the disciplines of international law and international relations.
While both disciplines study the same phenomena, in terms of
methodological approach, they may sometimes seem worlds apart.
Intriguingly, Dr Orakhelashvili shows that the dominant theoretical
streams in international law and international relations, namely
legal positivism and political realism, are in fact based on the
same rationales.'
