Chance, Order, Change: The Course of International Law, General Course on Public International Law by J. Crawford The course of international law over time needs to be understood if international law is to be understood. This work aims to provide such an understanding. It is directed not at topics or subject headings — sources, treaties, states, human rights and so on — but at some of the key unresolved problems of the discipline. Unresolved, they call into question its status as a discipline. Is international law “law” properly so-called? In what respects is it systematic? Does it — can it — respect the rule of law? These problems can be resolved, or at least reduced, by an imaginative reading of our shared practices and our increasingly shared history, with an emphasis on process. In this sense the practice of the institutions of international law is to be understood as the law itself. They are in a dialectical relationship with the law, shaping it and being shaped by it. This is explained by reference to actual cases and examples, providing a course of international law in some standard sense as well.

A EDITORA CONTRACORRENTE tem a satisfação de publicar o livro ASPECTOS DA EXCEÇÃO NO DIREITO INTERNACIONAL, da autora Nathalia França. Inaugurando a coleção "Constituição em crise", coordenada pelo ilustre professor Pedro Serrano, a obra oferece uma importante reflexão a respeito da exceção em sua forma mais sutil e imperceptível no século XXI. A ordem jurídica internacional possui um núcleo duro que confere proteção mínima de direitos aos seres humanos. Esse jus cogens abarca disposições de Direitos Humanos e de Direito Humanitário, limita o exercício da soberania interna e externa dos Estados e é inderrogável, mesmo em situação de exceção. Entretanto, a emergência jurídica é fraudada, criando pretextos para atuação autoritária dos Estados no campo internacional. Ao analisar a metamorfose do conceito de soberania, a genealogia da exceção desde o bonapartismo e buscar elementos para a defesa de um common ground jurídico internacional, a autora revela, com grande clareza, aspectos da exceção no Direito Internacional. Trata-se, pois, de uma obra imprescindível aos estudos críticos sobre o Direito Internacional.
