Books,etc. There are no required textbooks, but for my course preparation, I use the following two books:
1. Gleider Hernández, International Law (OUP, 2022)
2. Anders Henriksen, International Law (Oxford University Press, 4th ed., 2023)
These textbooks are recommended by well-regarded European universities, such as Leiden University
and the University of Amsterdam, known for their strong international law programs.
All course materials will be carefully translated into Japanese and presented in detailed slides, so feel
free to participate with confidence. For preparation, you're welcome to read any Japanese textbooks
of your choice, as there are no specific requirements.
