"The legal conscience of the civilized world" --
Sovereignty: a gift of civilization--international lawyers and imperialism, 1870-1914 --
International law as philosophy: Germany 1871-1933 --
International law as sociology: French "solidarism" 1871-1950 --
Lauterpacht: the Victorian tradition in international law --
Out of Europe: Carl Schmitt, Hans Morgenthau, and the turn to "international relations."
Koskenniemi combines legal analysis, historical and political critique and semi-biographical studies to trace the emergence of a liberal sensibility relating to international matters in the late nineteenth century, and its subsequent decline post Second World War. This highly readable and learned study ends with a critique of post-1960 'instrumentalism'.
