Book Review: Teaching International Law

الملخص

With international law's broad application and its deep analysis of state-to state interactions, having a thorough reference that explores the nuances of teaching this field is essential. As beneficial as a qualified teacher can be, they are not enough in the absence of a trustworthy legal textbook. Books and the timeless wisdom they impart are eternal, but teachers are known to be ephemeral. Many topics related to the field in question are covered in the recently released book "Teaching International Law," co-edited by Peter Hilpold and Giuseppe Nesi. This extensive work explores the complexities of international law in a globalized context where new issues keep coming up, contradicting the common wisdom that nations are the only subjects of international law. In addition, it looks at instructional strategies that can help with the modern "Humboldtian dilemma," which aims to strike a careful balance between research and teaching while taking into consideration the lean management systems or VUCA (vulnerability, unpredictability, complexity, and ambiguity) teaching approaches in international law.
