Carl Schmitt and Francisco de Vitoria
The Paradox of Universalism in International Law
Series: - Legal History Library, Volume: 84/31
- Studies in the History of International Law, Volume: 84/31
What could the critically labelled 'crown jurist of the Third Reich' and a 16th-century Dominican friar at Salamanca Universityâlong revered as the founding father of international law during the age of discoveryâpossibly share? This pioneering multi-author volume is the first to examine the VitoriaâSchmitt nexus in the history and theory of international law, bringing together two classic thinkers whose radically different yet profoundly influential ideas continue to shape international law and political thought well into the 21st century.
