Scott covers such core topics as the nature of legal argument, the negotiation and implementation of multilateral treaties, and the place of the United Nations, other intergovernmental organizations, and nonstate actors in the international legal system. Equally important, she connects the actual content of laws dealing with, for example, human rights, the use of force, the environment, and genocide to current issues and problems. Case studies within the chapters bring the real world of world politics to life.
