Description: "This book presents a sustained exploration of the pertinence of Marxist ideas, concepts and analytical practices for international legal enquiry from a wide range of different angles. Discussion encompasses the relationship between Marxism and critical approaches to international law, Soviet international legal theory and the earlier work on international law of E. B. Pashukanis, the bearing of Marxism for the analysis of international trade law and human rights, and the significance for international legal enquiry of such Marxist concepts as the commodity, praxis and exploitation."--BOOK JACKET.
