Conversations on Justice from National, International, and Global Perspectives: Dialogues with Leading Thinkers (Cambridge University Press, 2019) is a book consisting of interviews by its editor with “leading thinkers” on justice. One of those interviews is with Professor José E. Alvarez. That interview, entitled International Organizations and Global Justice, is described in the introduction as: “Alvarez…explores the role of international organizations as major actors of international law. Despite all their limitations and even pathologies, international organizations have a key role to play in the networks of norms and institutions of global governance. Alvarez identifies the challenges and opportunities that are now facing international organizations. In addition, he shares his views on the need to internationalize international law and what this means for research, teaching, and practice.”
