Law of Nations
Professor Mark W. Janis' newest book, America and the Law of Nations 1776-1939, is a unique exploration of the ways in which Americans have perceived, applied, advanced, and frustrated international law. It demonstrates the varieties and continuities of America's approaches to international law.

He is the author of three widely-used books: International Law (Aspen 5th edition 2008), Cases and Commentary on International Law with John Noyes (West 3rd edition 2006), and European Human Rights Law with Richard Kay and Anthony Bradley (Oxford 3d edition 2008). He is also the author of The American Tradition of International Law: Great Expectations (Oxford 2004), America and the Law of Nations 1776-1939 (Oxford 2010, forthcoming), and of more than 60 articles concerning public and private international law.
