Jenny Benham, "International Law in Europe, 7001200" (Manchester UP, 2022)
b'Was there international law in the Middle Ages? Using treaties as its main source,\\xa0International Law in Europe, 700-1200\\xa0(Manchester University Press, 2022) by Dr. Jenny Benham examines the extent to which such a system of rules was known and followed in the period 700 to 1200. It considers how consistently international legal rules were obeyed, whether there was a reliance on justification of action and whether the system had the capacity to resolve disputed questions of fact and law. The book further sheds light on issues such as compliance, enforcement, deterrence, authority and jurisdiction, challenging traditional ideas over their role and function in the history of international law.\\nInternational law in Europe, 700-1200\\xa0will appeal to students and scholars of medieval Europe, international law and its history, as well as those with a more general interest in warfare, diplomacy and international relations.\\nThis interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose\\xa0forthcoming book\\xa0focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
