The Transit of Goods in Public International Law contextualizes transit as it exists in contemporary international law. Issues discussed in this volume are inextricably tied to the ongoing debate about state sovereignty and the globalization of the world's economies. Using the principles of systemic integration, effective rights, and economic cooperation, The Transit of Goods in Public International Law attempts to clarify the legal status of transit, its definition, and its enforceability under international law.
