Description

Product Description This book offers the first comprehensive account and re-appraisal of the formative phase of what is often termed the 'Grotian tradition' in international relations theory: the view that sovereign states are not free to act at will, but are akin to members of a society, bound by its norms. It examines the period from the later fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries, focusing on four thinkers: Erasmus, Vitoria, Gentili and Grotius himself, and is structured by the author's concept of international society. Erasmus' views on international relations have been entirely neglected, but underlying his work is a consistent image of international society. The theologian Francisco de Vitoria concerns himself with its normative principles, the lawyer Alberico Gentili - unexpectedly, the central figure in the narrative - with its extensive practical applications. Grotius, however, does not re-affirm the concept, but wavers at crucial points. This book suggests that the Grotian tradition is a misnomer. Review 'Vollerthun provides an original and balanced reading of one of the critical phases in the formation of international law. Bringing unexpected authors, such as Erasmus, to the table, she shows in which respects Grotius failed to integrate a complex discussion that responded to urgent needs of his time and would become one of international law's main tenets, Grotian or not.' Andreas Wagner, Goete Universität, Frankfurt am Main Book Description The first comprehensive account of the initial development of the 'Grotian tradition' in international relations theory, reaching entirely unexpected conclusions. About the Author Ursula Vollerthun (1937‒2011) came relatively late to International Relations. With a background in Political Science and the History and Philosophy of Science, she pursued the present topic for her thesis in the Department of International Relations in the then Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University.James L. Richardson was Professor of Political Science (1975‒85), later of International Relations (1986‒98), at the Australian National University, Canberra. He is author of Germany and the Atlantic Alliance (1966), Crisis Diplomacy (Cambridge, 1994) and Contending Liberalisms in World Politics (2001). After Ursula Vollerthun's death, he devoted himself to this work.
