Books reviews
Welcome to the Book Review section of EJIL. We consider book reviews, including critical ones, to be indispensable to robust academic debate. Nearly 600 books have been reviewed to date in EJIL: our book review archive is a treasure trove waiting to be re-discovered.
Click here for information on Submitting Book Reviews. While book reviews published in EJIL are typically solicited, we carefully consider proposals for specific book reviews or suggestions of books that should be reviewed, and we also consider for review books sent directly to us. Please direct review copies, and all related correspondence, to
