Book Symposium: The Thin Justice of International Law
Response to Critics of The Thin Justice of International Law
In this, the final contribution to our online symposium, Ratner responds to critics of his book.
Reflections on The Thin Justice of International Law: Peace, Justice, and Secession

The Role of Ideal Theory in Developing an Applied Ethics of International Law
In his book, Steven Ratner impressively integrates the concerns and perspectives of international lawyers with a philosophically compelling normative analysis, demonstrating by example the importance of such an integrated assessment.
