Summary
My great thanks go to my home institution, the University of Edinburgh School of Law, for sabbatical periods that were essential to the completion of this project – and also for intellectual stimulation in countless ways. The hospitality of two fine institutions was invaluable to me: the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public and International Law, in Heidelberg, Germany (in 2000); and the George Washington University School of Law in Washington, DC (in 2003–4). For research and editorial assistance, I am grateful for the invaluable services of Dimitra Nassimpian, Ashley Theunissen, Kyle Sammin, Paul Margolis and Ozan Jaquette (and friends). In dealing with the perils of the New Technology, I have had the invaluable assistance of Roger Marlowe and of my brother Tom Neff. The following people (in prosaic alphabetical order) have assisted or inspired in manifold ways that were sometimes indirect but always much appreciated: Adnan Amkhan, Alan Boyle, Michael Byers, James Crawford, Yoram Dinstein, Thomas Giegerich, William Gilmore, Christine Gray, Susan Karamanian, Frederick Shiels, Ralph Steinhardt, Simonetta Stirling and Colin Warbrick. Only inspiration, and not errors, may be put to their charge. Finally, a most special thanks to the long-suffering staff at Cambridge University Press – to Leigh Mueller for heroic editing labours, and most specially to Finola O'Sullivan for her unique (and all too rare) combination of patience and vision.
