What’s that? Show me some water!”

Reviews
“[A]n insightful introduction and inquiry into theoretical thinking in general, and international law theory in particular … It has the potential to successfully encourage its readers not only to ‘think about law’ but also to ‘think about thinking about law’.” — Dana Burckardt, British Yearbook of International Law
“The book successfully makes international law theories – or better, ‘different ways of thinking about international law’ – accessible and relatable … If, as Bianchi states, the mission is to ‘stir up the water that we, as international lawyers, swim in’ and encourage more lawyers to interrogate their perceptions of what ‘water’ even is, then this book might be read as a seductive enticement to get our feet soaking wet.” — Hemy Mistry, The Modern Law Review
“[A] profound exposition of the intellectual underpinnings of an entire discipline from a scholar whose familiarity with the material is unparalleled. … International Law Theories is an essential reference point for anyone interested in serious international legal scholarship. It is also a remarkably enjoyable read. In no other single volume is such a breadth of critical material on this vast subject orchestrated with this level of clarity and perception – a truly indispensable resource.” — David Collins, Melbourne Journal of International Law
