Book excerpt: "The study of natural law and the law of nations in the early-modern period has expanded remarkably during the last decades. This has partly been inspired by contemporary concerns, in particular by the interest in the genealogy of human rights and the foundations of international law. However, natural law in this period has also been studied in its own historical right, with a view to understanding its intellectual sources and cultural and political uses. Early modern natural law emerged in a variety of forms at the volatile interface of theology, moral philosophy, political thought and jurisprudence. These "different models of natural law" have been described "as conflicting ways of configuring access to ethical and political norms in the service of rival cultural-political programmes". Within the language and concepts of natural law doctrines, then, quite divergent approaches were pursued to regulate and protect human society. Some operated at the level of the domestic state, with a view to rationalising and legitimating its political and juridical authority. Others operated beyond the borders of the territorial state, with a view to regulating interstate relations via the laws of war and peace"--

Book Synopsis System, Order, and International Law by : Stefan Kadelbach

Download or read book System, Order, and International Law written by Stefan Kadelbach. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries, thinkers have tried to understand and to conceptualize political and legal order beyond the boundaries of sovereign territories. Their concepts, deeply entangled with ideas of theology, state formation, and human nature, form the bedrock of today's theoretical discourses on international law. This volume engages with models of early international legal thought from Machiavelli to Hegel before international law in the modern sense became an academic discipline of its own. The interplay of system and order serves as a leitmotiv throughout the book, helping to link historical models to contemporary discourse. Part I of the book covers a diverse collection of thinkers in order to scrutinize and contextualize their respective models of the international realm in light of general legal and political philosophy. Part II maps the historical development of international legal thought more generally by distilling common themes and ideas, such as the relationship between universality and particularity, the role of the state, the influence of power and economic interests on the law, and the contingencies of time, space and technical opportunities. In the current political climate, where it appears that the reinvigorated concept of the nation state as an ordering force competes with internationalist thinking, the problems at issue in the classic theories point to contemporary questions: is an international system without central power possible? How can a normative order come about if there is no central force to order relations between states? These essays show that uncovering the history of international law can offer ways in which to envisage its future.

Download or read book The Legacy of Vattel's Droit des gens written by Koen Stapelbroek. This book was released on 2019-08-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection offers a reassessment of the complicated legacy of Emer de Vattel’s Droit des gens, first published in 1758. One of the most influential books in the history of international law and a major reference point in the fields of international relations theory and political thought, this book played a role in the transformation of diplomatic practice in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. But how did Vattel’s legacy take shape? The volume argues that the enduring relevance of Vattel’s Droit des gens cannot be explained in terms of doctrines and academic disciplines that formed in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Instead, the chapters show how the complex reception of this book took shape historically and why it had such a wide geographical and disciplinary appeal until well into the twentieth century. The volume charts its reception through translations, intellectual, ideological and political appropriations as well as new practical usages, and explores Vattel’s discursive and conceptual innovations. Drawing on a wide range of sources, such as archive memoranda and diplomatic correspondences, this volume offers new perspectives on the book’s historical contexts and cultures of reception, moving past the usual approach of focusing primarily on the text. In doing so, this edited collection forms a major contribution to this new direction of study in intellectual history in general and Vattel’s Droit des gens in particular.
