About the Book

Title: Transnational Criminal Law: The Evolution of a New Field

Author: Jessica Roher

This book marks the 60th anniversary of Philip Jessup's landmark lecture that coined the term "transnational law," expanding on his ideas to specifically address transnational criminal law. The book is a compilation of academic papers developed for a symposium, featuring contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in the field of transnational criminal law.

Key Themes:

• Transnational Law and Criminal Law: This work builds upon Jessup's concept of transnational law and applies it to the evolving field of transnational criminal law.

• Globalized Crime: The book addresses how crimes, like drug trafficking, terrorism, and human trafficking, transcend national borders and need new frameworks of regulation.

• Legal Practice and Theory: It includes both theoretical insights and practical contributions that explore how laws governing criminal acts across borders can be effectively developed and enforced.

• Interdisciplinary Approaches: The contributors provide various perspectives on how legal scholarship and practice have been reshaped in response to globalization.

Importance of the Work:

This book is a significant contribution to the field of transnational criminal law, offering a deeper understanding of the intersection of global law and crime. It demonstrates the impact of Philip Jessup’s original ideas and the continued evolution of legal practices that govern crimes across national boundaries. Ideal for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in the global challenges of criminal law, this work is an essential resource for those studying international law and its applications.
