Re-Imagining the International Legal Order


This discussion, prompted by the launch of the book, "Re-Imagining the International Legal Order," will offer a number of distinctive perspectives on the past, present, and future of the international legal order.  What are the strengths of the present international order?

Leading experts who contributed to the book will present their answers to these questions and more.
