Michelle Burgis, Boundaries of Discourse in the International Court of Justice: Mapping Arguments in Arab Territorial Disputes.

Dr. Michelle Burgis finished her PhD at Australian National University, and this book is based on her PhD thesis. By describing how Third Worlds countries approached to "Western-written" international law from linguistic constructivist's point of view, this book rightly argues that international law is a discourse, and the argument which took place in ICJ was an attempt to draw boundary between 'us' and 'them'.
