Explore the enduring search for peace in international law and history.
This work traces the idea of perpetual peace across ancient, medieval, and modern times, showing how alliances, mediations, and arbitrations shaped early efforts and laid groundwork for today’s institutions.
The book frames three eras to explain how scholars and statesmen tackled the question of peace: informal experiments in ancient times, Christian and early modern scholarship, and the codification of international law that points toward collective security. It highlights influential voices from Saint-Pierre to Kant and Bentham, and shows how public opinion, diplomacy, and legal thought interact in the quest for a lasting peace."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
