The book traces the definition, history, and theory of international law, explains its sources and hierarchy, and examines treaty law, custom, general principles, judicial decisions, and “soft” law. It also addresses the relationship between international law and municipal law, and studies the legal criteria for states and governments, including recognition and self-determination.","AKEHURST’S MODERN INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL LAW  \n‘Professor Malanczuk has written a new edition of Michael Akehurst’s textbook which maintains its high traditions of clarity, precision and coherence. The new edition, more detailed and more widely referenced, will appeal to a wider audience of students than its predecessor, while still satisfying the needs of those seeking an accessible introduction to International Law, whether lawyers or not.’  \nColin Warbrick, University of Durham  \nFirst published in 1970, A Modern Introduction to International Law rapidly established itself as the most widely used and successful textbook in its field.
