International Law for Modern Times
.......................................... A new book by Russell Miller, professor of law, was the topic of a panel discussion during the 2008 American Society of International Law (ASIL) meeting, April 9-12 in Washington. The book, Progress in International Law (Martinus Nijhoff Publishers), was co-edited by Miller and Professor Rebecca Bratspies of the CUNY School of Law. Progress in International Law provides a comprehensive accounting of international law for modern times. Forty leading international law theorists analyze the most significant current issues in the field, and their critical assessments draw diverse conclusions about its current state and future prospects. David W. Kennedy, Harvard Law School professor and director of the European Law Research Center, called the book a first-rate collection of provocative articles. “Miller and Bratspies introduce the volume with a fascinating study of international law in the United States after the First World War—a moment parallel to our own. Then as now, international law was a collision point for political visions of America’s role in the world. The field was remade, as it is being remade today by those who contribute to this excellent volume.” A former criminal defense lawyer, Miller is an expert in comparative law and international law. He co-founded the German Law Journal (www.germanlawjournal.com). The online transnational law journal, in English, receives more than 1.5 million hits each year.
