Research handbooks in international law.

"This comprehensive and insightful Research Handbook addresses the interpretation of international solidarity within topical legal regimes and regional systems, as well as in relation to decolonization and the concepts of Ummah and Ubuntu. It examines the way in which international solidarity enables the global community to respond to intercontinental challenges, including climate change, forced migration, health emergencies, and inequality. The Research Handbook on International Solidarity and the Law analyzes the scope of international solidarity in relation to human rights and duties, in particular the need to safeguard transnational civic spaces to promote emancipatory strategies for marginalized groups. Contributors examine Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and gender perspectives, explore regional interpretations and applications, and address topical areas such as peace, development, trade law, migration, anti-corruption, corporate sustainability, law of the sea, digital technology law, and energy law. In addition, the Research Handbook highlights how the phenomenon of polarization and decoupling across the world underscores the need for institutional reform to build international solidarity. Providing discussions on this Research Handbook will be an essential resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners of human rights law, international affairs, public international law, and peace and security law"-- Provided by publisher.
