[The book] also succeeds in doing something that few multi-contributor volumes in law are able to achieve, that is, to construct a clear argument that runs throughout the entire book. The editors advanced a hypothesis and structured the chapters in such a way so as to allow for this argument to be developed through the course of the volume. Each chapter can be read as a standalone contribution, yet the book should be read as a monograph in order to view the development of the argument.' Jed Odermatt, International Journal of Constitutional Law
'The potential audience of A Farewell to Fragmentation should include anyone, including academics, students, and practitioners, who is interested in the debate(s) over fragmentation in international law. Since its overall argument is that fragmentation is now outweighed by its opposite, it may also interest those who are tired of hearing about fragmentation.' Sondre Torp Helmersen, Leiden Journal of International Law
