Book Review: Outline of the Public International Law

Summary/Abstract: The reviewed book entitled Outline of Public International Law [Prawo międzynarodowe publiczne w zarysie] is the 16th printing of the Góralczyk´s treatise first published in 1977 and updated by Stefan Sawicki. Although there are some publications on international law with more editions, it is quite unique in Poland as well as in the Central Europe in general to have so many editions of a single textbook. For example, second Polish reputable textbook about public international law (written by Remigiusz Bierzanek and Janusz Symonides) was published in eight printings and two most edited Czech books on public international law (first one written by Miroslav Potočný with Ján Ondřej and the second one written by Jiří Malenovský) were published in their 6th editions in 2011 and 2014, respectively. According to my information, there is no Slovak textbook on public international law with more than two editions. The above-mentioned popularity represents first reason for selecting exactly this book for my review. The second one is my ambition to introduce a less typical publication in our Slovak academic community because of books written in English, German or French are quoted more frequently than the ones written in other languages.
