Biography
Dr Christopher K Lamont, Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
'...fills an important gap in the literature on state compliance with international law. Through a comprehensive literature review and carefully crafted case studies, Lamont makes a cogent argument that both material and norm-centric approaches must be considered. His findings are easily applicable to other cases and will be of great interest to international law and international relations scholars.' Thomas Ambrosio, North Dakota State University, USA '...an impressive book that significantly improves our understanding of the ways in which international criminal justice and its institutions deal with conflicts and post-conflict situations. It is also a much needed and fascinating contribution to studying politics of justice in post-Yugoslav states.' Dejan Jovic, University of Stirling, UK
