Book review: Lauri Malksoo, "Russian Approaches to International Law" Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2015, 240 pp.

The book under review—written by Lauri Mälksoo, professor of international law at the University of Tartu (Estonia) and a member of the Estonian Academy of Sciences—on Russian Approaches to International Law sets out such comparative objectives, attempting to reveal the dialectics of the Other and the Self in relations between Russian and Western doctrines of international law.
