Anthea Roberts - Is International Law International - Review (original) (raw)

Anthea Roberts' work delves into the sociological aspects of international law, analyzing how it is shaped by education and knowledge production within law schools and through textbooks. By exploring the frameworks in the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, she identifies a 'divisible college of international lawyers,' characterized by differing national influences that lead to a plurality of legal interpretations. This study emphasizes that geographical and institutional factors significantly impact the understanding and application of international law, highlighting the need for awareness amidst shifting geopolitical landscapes.
