What is The Prudent Peace : Law as Foreign Policy about?

Perkins argues that international law rests no less on practical and political logic than on moral grounds. Calling for a recognition of law as the only successful strategy ever devised for the resolution of conflict, Perkins demonstrates the role of international law as prudent, effective foreign policy. He brings forward specific illustrations from history and from current issues to explain the political logic of international law. He tests its prudence by applying this perspective to the most sensitive areas of emerging law: the right of self-determination and the rule of nonintervention
