In this timely and measured work, Dr Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott considers the specific issue of state responsibility for the wrongdoings of non-state actors. [...] The work is at once rigorous and insightful. More than simply an analysis of the tests for attribution in the law of state responsibility, Dr Mackenzie-Gray Scott takes a step back and considers the impact of globalization, neoliberalism, and shifting power balances on the state responsibility framework. [...] The work contains much food for thought for the academic and practitioner alike. The concrete proposals for the future warrant particularly careful reading. * Professor Sandesh Sivakumaran, University of Cambridge *
