This book explores the history of the international order in the
eighteenth and nineteenth century through a new study of Emer de
Vattel's Droit des gens (1758). Drawing on unpublished sources from
European archives and libraries, the book offers an in-depth
account of the reception of Vattel's chief work. Vattel's focus on
the myth of good government became a strong argument for
republicanism, the survival of small states, drafting constitutions
and reform projects and fighting everyday battles for freedom in
different geographical, linguistic and social contexts. The book
complicates the picture of Vattel's enduring success and
usefulness, showing too how the work was published and translated
to criticize and denounce the dangerousness of these ideas. In
doing so, it opens up new avenues of research beyond histories of
international law, political and economic thought.
