Custom, Power, And The Power Of Rules, Michael Byers Jan 1995

Custom, Power, And The Power Of Rules, Michael Byers

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article begins by explaining briefly the differing perspectives which these two general categories of scholars - those who study international law and those who study international relations - have of international society generally, and of law and power more specifically. This article exposes the fact that power is an important but largely unnoticed subject of much international legal discourse and also canvasses attempts by international relations scholars to incorporate law into their understandings of power.
