The Series of International Law Monographs by the Erik CastrĂ©n Institute of International Law and Human Rights seeks to bring to the reader high-quality research in international law with particular emphasis on the theoretical and historical aspects of the topics dealt with. The Series encourages doctrinal and practical criticism, a multidisciplinary approach and broad syntheses. Manuscripts that seek to renew the field’s intellectual energy and political commitment are welcome. The Series is based on a conviction that theoretical ambition and practical relevance cannot be dissociated from each other and that even as it looks for a rejuvenation of the field it insists on speaking to both academic and practicing lawyers.
