The book offers the first analysis of the influence exercised by
the concept of space on the emergence and continuing operation of
international law. By adopting a historical perspective and
analysing work of two central early modern thinkers - Leibniz and
Hobbes - it offers a significant addition to a limited range of
resources on early modern history of international law. The book
traces links between concepts of space, universality, human
cognition, law, and international law in these two early modern
thinkers in a comparative fashion. Through this analysis, the book
demonstrates the dependency of the contemporary international law
on the Hobbesian concept of space. Although some Leibnizian
elements continue to operate, they are distorted. This continuing
operation of Leibnizian elements is explained by the inability of
international law, which is based on the Hobbesian concept of
space, to ensure universality of its normative foundation.
