ABSTRACT
The overall objective of this book has been to consider the development of international law by concentrating on a number of leading works in the discipline. Each chapter in the volume has analysed the importance and legacy of a specific work, with a view to reflecting upon how that publication has contributed to shaping the broader literature in the field of international law and how it may continue to have an influence on both scholarship and practice in the future. This chapter summarises and concludes the Leading Works in International Law volume. Taken as a whole, the chapters included in this book provide an original exploration of a variety of important themes relating to how the discipline has evolved over time and what may be in store for its future, and a collection of contributions of outstanding richness and depth has been the result.
