  • "The author reappraises Grotius' thought and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the 'Grotian' tradition - one which accepts the sovereignty of states but at the same time stresses the existence of shared values and the necessity of rules."
  • "Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), "the miracle of Holland," was famous as a child prodigy, theologian, historian, Dutch political figure, escaped political prisoner, and finally as Sweden's Ambassador to France. Addressing his contribution to international relations, this book critically reappraises Grotius' thought, comparing it to his predecessors and examining it in the context of the wars and controversies of his time. The collection illuminates enduring problems of international relations: the nature of international society and its institutions, the equality of states, restraints in war, collective security, military intervention, the rights of the individuals, and the law of the sea.--Publisher description."
  • "While the works of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) have long been held in high esteem by international lawyers, this book addresses the broader, and neglected, theme of his contribution to international relations - in both its theoretical and practical aspects. The contributors, who include C. G. Roelofsen, Peter Haggenmacher, G. I. A. D. Draper, W. E. Butler, and the editors, critically reappraise Grotius' thought on international relations, examining it in relation to his predecessors and in the context of the wars and controversies of his time. They also assess the strengths and weaknesses of what is often called a 'Grotian' tradition of thought about international relations: one which accepts the sovereignty of states, but at the same time stresses the existence of shared values and the necessity of rules. While first and foremost a study in the field of international relations, it also makes a significant contribution to the history and theory of international law, and to the history of the early seventeenth century, when the system of European states was emerging in its modern form."
