Cambridge Elements in International Law and Society offers a platform for cutting-edge interdisciplinary explorations of international law related to social, economic, political, technological, cultural, biological, biophysical and environmental developments across the planet. Operating at the intersection of international legal scholarship and socio-legal studies, this series explores a wide range of topics and deploys different methodological perspectives to the past, present and future of international law. It also offers complex and nuanced approaches to the concepts of law and society in a global context, drawing on theoretically informed and empirically grounded research. Individual volumes provide direct, rapid interventions to emerging debates in international law and society or engage with international law’s connection to activism, practice or teaching and the changing styles, arguments and narratives that power the world’s legal regimes. They may also offer a master class in a specific approach or method. This series will be a unique resource for teaching and dissemination of research.
