Writings on War collects three of Carl Schmitt's most important and
controversial texts, here appearing in English for the first time:
The Turn to the Discriminating Concept of War, The Grossraum Order
of International Law, and The International Crime of the War of
Aggression and the Principle "Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine
lege". Written between 1937 and 1945, these works articulate
Schmitt's concerns throughout this period of war and crisis,
addressing the major failings of the League of Nations, and
presenting Schmitt's own conceptual history of these years of
disaster for international jurisprudence. For Schmitt, the
jurisprudence of Versailles and Nuremberg both fail to provide for
a stable international system, insofar as they attempt to impose
universal standards of 'humanity' on a heterogeneous world, and
treat efforts to revise the status quo as 'criminal' acts of war.
In place of these flawed systems, Schmitt argues for a new
planetary order in which neither collective security organizations
nor 19th century empires, but Schmittian 'Reichs' will be the
leading subject of international law. Writings on War will be
essential reading for those seeking to understand the work of Carl
Schmitt, the history of international law and the international
system, and interwar European history. Not only do these writings
offer an erudite point of entry into the dynamic and charged world
of interwar European jurisprudence; they also speak with prescience
to a 21st century world struggling with similar issues of global
governance and international law.
