Mónica García-Salmones Rovira is a post-doctoral research fellow at
the Erik Castrén Institute of International Law and Human Rights at
the University of Helsinki, within the Academy of Finland project
'History of International Law, between Religion and Empire'. Her
research interests include international legal theory, positivism
(Thomas Hobbes and Hans Kelsen), economic-positivism, legal
philosophy, and the history of international law in the
19th and 20th centuries.
`readers might perceive that the strength of this book lies in the
very ample discussion on Kelsens legal scientific positivism in all
its life periods, and in the discussion on international law on
that foundation.'
Milo Vec, Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History 24 (2016) pp.
505-507
`Rovira's book is a great intellectual and philosophical feat and
will be an eye-opener for international lawyers and theorists with
an interest in the development of modern positivism.'
Inge Van Hulle
