Routledge - The Extraterritoriality of Law Book

The Extraterritoriality of Law: History, Theory, Politics offers a deep look into a complex legal concept that affects international investment law, human rights, and state responsibility. While many academic accounts overlook the conceptual history and political roots of extraterritoriality, this volume addresses those gaps directly. Part of the Politics of Transnational Law series, this book provides a necessary examination of how legal authority functions across borders. It brings together thirteen scholars specializing in law, history, and politics to re-evaluate the contemporary relevance of these legal frameworks. Whether you are studying legal pluralism or transnational legal studies, this text provides the theoretical depth needed to understand the shifting nature of global legal authority and its political ramifications.
