The Dynamics of International Law / Diehl, Paul F.; Ku, Charlotte

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Cambridge University Press, 2010Description: 214 pagesISBN:
  • 9780521121477
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 340.2 DIE
Summary: Paul F. Diehl and Charlotte Ku's new framework for international law divides it into operating and normative systems. The authors provide a theory of how these two systems interact, which explains how changes in one system precipitate changes and create capacity in the other. A punctuated equilibrium theory of system evolution, drawn from studies of biology and public policy studies, provides the basis for delineating the conditions for change and helps explain a pattern of international legal change that is often infrequent and sub-optimal, but still influential.
