Abi-Saab, Keith, Marceau, & Marquet: Evolutionary Interpretation and International Law

Georges Abi-Saab, Kenneth Keith, Gabrielle Marceau, & Clément Marquet have published Evolutionary Interpretation and International Law (Hart Publishing 2019). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
This unique book brings together leading experts from diverse areas of public international law to offer a comprehensive overview of the approaches to evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes. It begins by asking what interpretation is, offering the views of expert authors on the question, its components and definitions. It then comments on situations that have called for evolutionary interpretation in different international legal regimes, including general international law, environmental law, human rights law, EU law, investment law, international trade law, and how domestic courts have, on occasions, interpreted treaties and other international legal instruments in an evolutionary manner.
