International law in the long nineteenth century (1776-1914) : from the public law of Europe to global international law?
\"International Law in the Long Nineteenth Century gathers ten studies that reflect the ever-growing variety of themes and approaches that scholars from different disciplines bring to the historiography of international law in the period. Three themes are explored: 'international law and revolutions' which reappraises the revolutionary period as crucial to understanding the dynamics of international order and law in the nineteenth century. In 'law and empire', the traditional subject of nineteenth-century imperialism is tackled from the perspective of both theory and practice. Finally, 'the rise of modern international law', covers less familiar aspects of the formation of modern international law as a self-standing discipline. Contributors are: Camilla Boisen, Raphaël Cahen, James Crawford, Ana Delic, Frederik Dhondt, Andrew Fitzmaurice, Vincent Genin, Viktorija Jakjimovska, Stefan Kroll, Randall Lesaffer, and Inge Van Hulle\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Cambridge companion to Hugo Grotius
\"It remains a mystery why there has not been a Cambridge Companion to Hugo Grotius to this point. As a format, The Cambridge Companions have a strong tradition in intellectual history, covering numerous political and theological thinkers from - in particular - Europe's past. It was Stephen Neff (Edinburgh University) who first drew attention to the anomaly that Hugo Grotius, one of the most prolific, versatile and influential voices from Europe's intellectual history was still awaiting his 'Cambridge Companion'. He suggested that we, as members of the Grotiana foundation, would take up the task of coordinating this. It was during a nice afternoon at the National Archives at The Hague, that we made the first design for the book. Our proposal, worked out in numerous subsequent conversations, was enthusiastically met by Finola O'Sullivan, law editor at Cambridge University Press, who agreed that Grotius' lasting fame in international law earned him a place in the law list. Nevertheless, the plan to cover the life, thought and work of Grotius in all its breadth, transcending the borderlines of modern discipline, also met with strong approval at the Press. Our special thanks goes to Finola and her dedicated team, among other Marianne Nield, ...\"-- Provided by publisher.

Peace Treaties and International Law in European History
In the formation of the modern law of nations, peace treaties played a pivotal role. Many basic principles and rules that governed and still govern relations between states were introduced and elaborated in the great peace treaties from the Renaissance onwards. Nevertheless, until recently few scholars have studied these primary sources of the law of nations from a juridical perspective. In this edited collection, specialists from all over Europe, including legal and diplomatic historians, international lawyers and an International Relations theorist, analyse peace treaty practice from the late fifteenth century to the Peace of Versailles of 1919. Important emphasis is given to the doctrinal debate about peace treaties and the influence of older, Roman and medieval concepts on modern practices. This book goes back further in time beyond the epochal Peace of Treaties of Westphalia of 1648 and this broader perspective allows for a reassessment of the role of the sovereign state in the modern international legal order.
