Aust & Kleinlein: Introduction: Bridges Under Construction and Shifting Boundaries

Helmut Aust (Freie Universität Berlin - Law) & Thomas Kleinlein (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena - Law) have posted Introduction: Bridges Under Construction and Shifting Boundaries (in Encounters between Foreign Relations Law and Public International Law - Bridges and Boundaries, Helmut Philipp Aust & Thomas Kleinlein eds., forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
Like an interface, foreign relations law addresses multiple and diverse questions about how the ‘domestic’ relates to the ‘international’ sphere. This introductory chapter unfolds the idea of bridges and boundaries between foreign relations law and public international law and develops the guiding questions of the volume. It also reflects on missed encounters between the two fields and introduces the core concepts and the approach of the book. Finally, it exposes the overall structure of the book and summarizes the contents of individual chapters.
