International Law: An Introduction to Structure and Formation offers a systematic examination of the foundations of international law, focusing on its emergence, conceptual structure, and mechanisms of formation and development. Rather than limiting the discussion to traditional rules and principles, the author analyzes the historical, political, and intellectual contexts that have shaped the international legal system, highlighting the close relationship between international law and major transformations in the international community.

The book addresses core concepts such as sovereignty, sources of international law, and subjects of international law, while providing a critical assessment of the nature of international law and the limits of its effectiveness. It aims to equip students and researchers with an analytical framework for understanding international law as a dynamic and evolving structure, rather than a static set of rules.
