The Idea of International Society: Erasmus, Vitoria, Gentili and Grotius by Ursu

Description: The Idea of International Society by Ursula Vollerthun, James L. Richardson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The first comprehensive account of the initial development of the Grotian tradition in international relations theory; relevant also to readers interested in the general history of political thought. The work is clearly structured by a rigorous concept of international society and written to be accessible to non-specialists. Publisher 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 authors 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. Author Biography Ursula Vollerthun (19372011) 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 (197585), later of International Relations (198698), 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 Vollerthuns death, he devoted himself to this work. Details ISBN 1108417140 ISBN-13 9781108417143 Title The Idea of International Society Author Ursula Vollerthun, James L.
