The Gentle Civilizer of Nations: The Rise and Fall of International Law 1870-1960 (Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures) Book

Koskenniemi traces the emergence of a liberal sensibility relating to international matters in the late 19th century, and its subsequent decline after the Second World War. He combines legal analysis, historical and political critique and semi-biographical studies of key figures (including Hersch Lauterpacht, Carl Schmitt and Hans Morgenthau). Finally, his discussion of legal and political realism at American law schools ends in a critique of post-1960 'instrumentalism'. This highly readable and intellectually wide-ranging study provides a unique reflection on the possibility of critical international law today.Read More
