Edited by Helmut Philipp Aust, Professor of Public and International Law, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, Heike Krieger, Professor of Public and International Law, Freie Universität Berlin, Chair Berlin Potsdam Research Group ‘The International Rule of Law- Rise or Decline?’ and Felix Lange, Professor of Public Law, International and European Law, University of Cologne, Germany<i>‘This timely book explores the dynamic relationship between international and national legal orders, using it as a prism to assess global changes like multipolarity. Expert chapters discuss how such changes impact on national orders and, vice versa, how national practices in relation to international law shape such changes. Written by a diverse group of experts, the chapters make an excellent contribution to the field.’</i>

<i>‘This superb Handbook manages the difficult feat of providing fresh insights into the complex and contested relationships between international and domestic legal systems. The chapters skillfully integrate theoretical and doctrinal perspectives and, read together, greatly enrich our understandings of rapidly changing interactions among national, regional, and multilateral legal orders.’</i>
- Jeffrey Dunoff, Temple University, US,
Chapter authors critically discuss the evolution of core understandings of the relationship between international and domestic law, and how this has been affected by specific actors and contexts in a changing global order, particularly imperialism, decolonisation, the post-Cold War era, and more recent trends, such as geopolitical shifts and the rise of populism. They examine concepts such as monism, dualism and pluralism, as well as the legal techniques and doctrines employed to govern the relationship, including approaches to treaty making, constitutional protection and conventionality control. The Handbook ultimately champions fresh perspectives on interlinkages between the international and the domestic in a multipolar world.
The Research Handbook on International Law and Domestic Legal Systems is a vital resource for students, scholars and practitioners of public international law, constitutional law, comparative law, and legal theory as well as readers with a background in international relations.
