Summary:

This book critically assesses the impact of Richard A. Falk's scholarship, which has spanned nearly six decades and addressed key issues at the intersections of international law and relations. Falk has offered powerful insights on the nature and reach of international law, international relations, and the structure of their respective processes in order to assess the main challenges to the creation of a just "world order," the path-breaking concept which he has helped to develop. Continuing in the critical spirit that has informed Richard's work as a scholar and a public intellectual, this book reflects a multiplicity of perspectives and approaches in the analysis and assessment of these selected themes. This volume looks at four key themes of Falk's work: * International Law and International Relations Theories and Concepts * War, Peace, and Human Security * Social and Political Justice, and * The Scholar as Citizen and Activist This will be a useful book for scholars and students of international law, global governance, political theory, and international relations theory, and for those studying human security, international organizations, and transnational activism.
