The breadth of international law and institutions in contemporary global politics means it is no longer possible to make sense of international politics without understanding international law. International Law for International Relations provides students with comprehensive coverage that maps out the different ways to approach the study of international law. It explains the institutions and main sources of international law-making and identifies the key topics of international law. This is the ideal text for students of international relations who have not previously studied law and post-graduate students of any background tackling international law for the first time. The complexities of international law are presented in an accessible, animated way allowing students to appreciate the significance of international law in international relations.

This text investigates the critical intersection between international law and contemporary global politics, arguing that the former is indispensable for understanding the latter. David R. King, an academic in the field, provides a structured framework designed to bridge the gap for students of international relations who lack a formal legal background. The book synthesizes institutional functions, legal sources, and thematic applications to clarify how international law shapes state behavior and global governance.
