Scholarly and accessible

I found Professor Rabkin's book to be quite informative and a fascinating read. The book has a very scholarly tone but it is written so that even a layman can understand the complexities of international law. Rabkin does an excellent job of laying out the differing views of national sovereignty. He makes a compelling case for the value of retaining our independence through increasing globalization. The book is written pre-9/11 and does not reflect on the increasing debate over unilateral action in the war on terror. I would love to see Rabkin update the book to cover that.
