About this ebook
What impact has Australia had on international law and what is its significance in terms of its participation in the transnational legal system? This collection of essays delves into the history of Australia's interactions with international law and considers how its people have shaped international law. It explores key issues such as the country's imperial and settler past. It assesses how Australians have contributed to key institutions such as the ICJ, the UN and the British Commonwealth. It gives a fascinating insight into international law's impact on a domestic legal system and the complex and multifaceted nature of that relationship. Scholars from across the international spectrum, whether in the field of law, politics or history, will welcome this erudite and engaging work.
