"If you are able to read only one book on international criminal justice let it be Crime and Global Justice. Brilliantly presented, lucidly reasoned, and remarkably balanced, it is certain to be an enduring scholarly contribution."Richard A. Falk, Princeton University Crime and Global Justice is a really good book. It combines an incredibly useful and readable introduction to the subject, a powerful critique of how it has worked in practice, and a message of hope for the future. A fundamental text for anyone who cares about the prospects for an international rule of law." Mary Kaldor, London School of Economics and Political Science“Both well-written and thorough…A timely reminder that the current international justice regime has not offered a silver bullet for complex political problems.”LSE Review of Books
