Full Description
Analysing different political and policy drivers of extraterritoriality in various social, cultural and economic settings, this book assesses the value of politics within the context of the law and practice of extraterritoriality.
Extraterritoriality is one of the most complex and multifaceted concepts in international law, shaped by a dynamic interplay of legal, political, and practical factors. This book discusses the challenges of understanding extraterritoriality in the context of evolving international relations, the political forces behind state practices, and why international law matters in a field that, at first glance, may seem primarily national in scope. To address these issues, this book includes twelve case studies that explore extraterritoriality from a national perspective, offering both thematic and geographic breadth. It analyses the political drivers of extraterritoriality among similar countries to assess and prove their value. By examining states' extraterritorial behaviour, the book provides a more nuanced, empirical perspective on extraterritoriality, highlighting emerging trends and offering insights into its role in shaping global, legal and political landscapes in the 21st century.
This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of extraterritoriality, law and politics.
