Abstract

342 Australian Year Book of International Law Vol25 One element of the work that might prove disappointing to some readers is its length. Scott's identification of the CSC concept, and then its application to a number of significant treaties all takes place in under 250 pages. Her analysis, while logical and thorough, is understandably curtailed, operating within this restraint to the broadest consideration of the treaties. A work of greater length might have been able to plumb other treaties, for example, the international trade system, which would have provided an intriguing subject of analysis. Dr Scott's succinct and considered application of the CSC to the treaties she has chosen is over all too brief, leaving the reader wanting more. Further applications of CSC theory to other areas of international law may hopefully be forthcoming, and gratefully received. On the whole, this work is a thought-provoking addition to international relations literature that will also be of interest to scholars of international law. It does, as Scott stated was her intention, attempt to build bridges between two related but often antagonistic disciplines. For that reason alone, it would be a useful addition to most libraries.
