"This book offers a very comprehensive analysis of doctrinal structure and court decisions across several nations that, once read in a collective way, contribute to the identification of common aspects and transnational behaviors that emerge in the absence of hard international law."(Alessandro Berni, Computing Reviews, June, 2018)
