As Brazil, Russia, India, China, and other emerging states ascend in economic and military might, they will inevitably want to have much more of a say in international affairs. Thus international law will not only have to address conflicts between different interpretations of law but will also need to accommodate and reconcile the often diverging interests of these states. For evidence of this, one need only look at recent debates in the UN Security Council about Syria. Such a multi-polar order is bound to challenge the existing international legal system. The book under review deals with this challenge and attempts to answer the question of how existing discourses within international law should adjust to this emerging "multi-polar and multi-civilizational world" (at 11).
