'This excellent book leads us to the heart of international law through its tensions between stability, change, unilateralism and objectivism with a highly balanced and well grounded lawyerly view. If will be indispensable to anyone-both academics and practitioners-concerned with the interpretation and application of treaties.'
Professor Attila Tanzi, Chair of International Law, University of Bologna
'Classical and modern ways need not be in tension, in treaty interpretation, as Bjorge shows in this important book.'
Professor Georg Nolte, Special Rapporteur in the International Law Commission on Treaties over Time and Professor of International Law, Humboldt University, Berlin
'This excellent monograph contains a major contribution with regard to one of the startling, but also basic problems of legal interpretation. To what extent does the interpreter refer to the original intention and environment surrounding the adoption of the act to be construed? To what extent con he or she conversely take account of lofer circumstances in order to give the legal provision a meaning which keeps it up to the needs of changing times? To what extent must he be faithful to a given legislative act, and to what extent con he adapt that act towards a newly crafted equilibrium? The author argues that the opposition is to some extent a sterile one, since the intention of the parties must give a Glue as to the precise extent of the
combination of the two factors in any given situation. The monograph is rich in material, well-reflected, reasonably short and written by a band which evidences a very fine legal knowledge as well as aptitude.'
