Second Edition

In International Law and World Order, B.  S. Chimni articulates an

Integrated Marxist Approach to International Law (IMAIL) combining
the insights of Marxism, socialist feminism and postcolonial theory. The
book uses IMAIL to systematically and critically examine the most influ-
ential contemporary theories of international law including new, feminist,
realist and policy-oriented approaches. In doing so, it discusses a range
of themes relating to the history, structure and process of international
law. The book also considers crucial world order issues and problems that
the international legal process has to contend with, including the welfare
of weak groups and nations, the ecological crisis and the role of human
rights. This extensively revised second edition provides an invaluable, in-
depth and updated review of the key literature and scholarship within this
field of study. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of
international law, international relations, international politics and global
studies.

B. S. Chimni is Professor of International Law at the School of International

Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India.
