Description
This book critically assesses the impact of Richard A. Falk's scholarship, which has spanned nearly six decades and addressed key issues at the intersections of international law and relations.
Falk has offered powerful insights on the nature and reach of international law, international relations, and the structure of their respective processes in order to assess the main challenges to the creation of a just "world order," the path-breaking concept which he has helped to develop. Continuing in the critical spirit that has informed Richard's work as a scholar and a public intellectual, this book reflects a multiplicity of perspectives and approaches in the analysis and assessment of these selected themes.
This volume looks at four key themes of Falk's work:
* International Law and International Relations Theories and Concepts
* War, Peace, and Human Security
* Social and Political Justice, and
* The Scholar as Citizen and Activist
This will be a useful book for scholars and students of international law, global governance, political theory, and international relations theory, and for those studying human security, international organizations, and transnational activism.

"Richard Falk continues to be one of the most dynamic, fearless and provocative public intellectuals in the world today and this joyous volume fully captures the many sides of his humanity. This is not only a difficult book to put down, it also will make the reader visit (and revisit) much of Falk's prodigious scholarship."Mark Gibney, Belk Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina-Asheville; and Affiliated Scholar, Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Sweden.
