This volume investigates the complex interplay between international legal norms and domestic political structures in the era of globalization. Edited by Alison Brysk, the collection brings together scholars from political science and legal studies to examine how global human rights standards are adopted, resisted, or transformed by national courts and state actors. The contributors utilize a variety of case studies to argue that the globalization of law is not a uniform process but one mediated by local political conditions and institutional constraints.

Experts identify this collection as a significant contribution to the study of international relations and legal sociology. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose and the rigorous comparative methodology employed by the contributors to analyze the limits of international law.
