Reviews'Aust and Nijman's Research Handbook on International Law and Cities captures the complexity, and the controversy, of the relationship between cities and international law in all its splendour. This is a skilfully designed and executed - and coherent - work from the leading legal scholars in the field. The reader is led through the history, structure and many of the current issues in what is an increasingly well-established field, both academically and in practice. There will be many more thematic avenues to explore but the principles and the path are set out here. This book will become a dear friend for many historians, political scientists and lawyers, to name but a few.', 'Research Handbooks tend to be just that - a book for reading selected contents one is interested in. Not this Handbook - it is fascinating from the beginning to end. Research Handbook of International Law and Cities , edited by Helmut Philip Aust and Janne E.

SynopsisThis groundbreaking Research Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the impact of international law on cities. It sheds light on the growing global role of cities and makes the case for a renewed understanding of international law in the light of the urban turn.

Combining doctrinal work and analysis of international practice with critical historical and theoretical contributions, this Research Handbook will be a must-have reference book for researchers and students in the field of international law as well as other disciplines, including human geography, urban studies, sociology and political science., This groundbreaking Research Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the impact of international law on cities.
