'The authors have produced a superb book on the fundamental topics,
issue areas, and perspectives on international law, appropriate for
both undergraduate and graduate students. The book is unmatched in
its readability, organization, depth, and breadth and provides
online support. The 7th edition builds and improves upon the
long-enduring Bill Slomanson's book.' Ali Abootalebi, University of
Wisconsin Eau Claire
'Having taught international law for the past two decades, I have
been on a long quest for a book that would present an engaging
introduction to the subject matter for a diverse range of students,
while striking the right balance between rigor and accessibility.
Now, that quest has concluded with the 7th edition of Fundamental
Perspectives on International Law.' Jack R. Mangala, Grand Valley
State University
'Slagter and Van Doorn have done an exceptional job updating
Slomanson's Fundamental Perspectives on International Law for
anyone interested in what international law can tell us about many
contemporary global issues. The book draws on timely examples to
provide an accessible overview of the promise and the limits of
international law from traditional sources and emerging
perspectives.' Adam Van Liere, University of Wisconsin La Crosse
