...a collection of meticulously investigated case studies which
jointly advance a compelling claim: that, between the nineteenth
and the twentieth centuries, a most relevant contribution to
international law came from those legal actors who got their hands
dirty with the realities of power and politics.
*Matilde Cazzola, Neue Politische Literatur *
This volume makes an interesting foil to the McGuinness and
Meerssche volumes (above), for here a team of historians undertakes
case studies of the role of legal practitioners in addressing or
resolving international crises or conflicts, producing thereby a
template for exploring how law and politics have interacted and
perhaps legal language and legal arguments have, over time,
acquired a role and vitality of their own.
*William E. Butler, Jus Gentium*
This book demonstrates how the international order was and is a
veritable "historical artefact", literally "crafted" by individuals
through the law.
*Matilde Cazzola, Neue Politische Literatur*
