Top literary prize for academic
A book authored by a King’s College London academic has received a prestigious award.
Dr Carmen Pavel’s Law Beyond the State: Dynamic Coordination, State Consent, and Binding International Law has been announced winner of the 2023 Best Book Award by the International Studies Association’s International Law Section.
Dr Pavel, a member of the Department of Political Economy, received the award at the association’s conference held earlier this month.
In the book, Dr Pavel - a reader in politics, philosophy, and economics at King’s - offers a Humean case for a more robust system of international law. She presents a normative challenge to realist views of international politics and argues for the importance of the ideal of the rule of law in reforming the core features of international law.
