Owing to the excellent level of its contributions and original structure, Interpretation in International Law represents a timely and innovative addition to the literature. . . [O]ffering invaluable insight on the nature and implications of interpretive mechanics and strategies, it will undoubtedly assist scholars of international law fascinated with interpretation as well as those interested in more general and systemic issues.
Niccolò Ridi, Kings Law Journal
Interpretation in International Law is an original and thought-provoking edited volume dealing with a challenging issue of international legal theory, an issue that has a bearing on the way international legal interpretation is understood and ultimately conducted.
Odile Ammann, Harvard International Law Journal
This book is a most valuable contribution that will surely be well received and widely quoted. It circles around the metaphor of game playing, which helps to explain many aspects of the interpretative process. Interpretation is a fascinating topic, and I do hope that this well-researched and well-written book prompts further research on interpretation in international law, its theory and its practice.
Christian Djeffal, European Journal of International Law
Interpretation in International Law is explicitly different from much of the existing literature, and because of its perspective the book manages to add something new to that literature ... Its game analogy is an interesting and creative perspective on interpretation in international law ... [T]he different chapters show it can be employed to extract interesting results from practices that have hitherto primarily been analysed from positivist perspectives.
Sondre Torp Helmersen, UCL Journal of Law and Jurisprudence
