520 $a"This book determines the boundary between parochial and cosmopolitan justice. To what extent should law recognize or support the political, historical, cultural, and economic differences among nations?

Parochialism and cosmopolitanism are the two faces of international law, which recognizes our common humanity by protecting us in our differences"--$cProvided by publisher.
