Description - Foreign Relations Law by Curtis A Bradley
The book features extensive coverage of:
- the scope of the President's war powers, including his powers in the war on terrorism
- the relationship between national foreign affairs powers, including the treaty power, and structural principles of federalism and separation of powers
- the validity of executive agreements
- the status of customary international law in the U.S. legal system, including its role in international human rights litigation in U.S. courts
- judicial reliance on foreign and international materials to interpret the Constitution
- the relationship between international tribunals and U.S. decisionmaking structures, including issues of delegation of authority and international comity
- extraterritorial application of federal law
The authors stimulate understanding through:
- a mix of leading cases and non-case materials, such as excerpts of statutes, treaties, and Executive Branch pronouncements
- abundant notes and questions for each topic, including rich discussions of historical background, other relevant cases, and academic debates
- a cohesive theoretical framework that illuminates the increasingly important intersection between international law and U.S. domestic law; the importance of constitutional structure in regulating foreign affairs; the relevance of history to modern controversies; the ways the constitutional law of foreign affairs is often developed outside the courts; and the significance of the increasingly blurred line between domestic and foreign affairs
Thoroughly updated, this edition offers:
- broader coverage of the war on terrorism, including detailed treatment of the Executive's power to target, detain, and try terrorist enemy combatants
- excerpts of recent Supreme Court decisions, including Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain, Altmann v. Republic of Austria, and American Ins. Ass'n v. Garamendi
- condensed coverage of foreign sovereign immunity, now divided between Chapter 2 on the role of the courts in foreign affairs and Chapter 7 on international human rights litigation, integrating the material with related topics and making it easier to teach
- a revised Teacher's Manual with additional syllabi, a new section of sample exams, and answers to all the questions in the casebook
