Arguably his most important work, Principles of International Law
was published after Kelsen's retirement from the University of
California at Berkeley in 1952. It is an important synthesis of
Kelsen's earlier work on international law and jurisprudence. Any
contribution by Professor Kelsen to international law is always
welcome. This certainly applies to the book under review. It
represents an attempt-which must be regarded as wholly
successful-to apply to international law, in an introductory
text-book not necessarily limited to specialists, many of Professor
Kelsen's basic doctrines in the field of jurisprudence. In
preparing this book the author has drawn on many of his previous
writings on international law, but he has avoided the danger of
putting before the reader a mere compilation of fragments. The very
arrangement of the book is stimulating in its boldness and
unorthodoxy. ( . . . ) It is] a model of precision and clarity and
. . . a stimulus to thought. If for no other reason, this
Introduction to International Law is an outstanding and fully
successful attempt-of which there are but few-to present the
entirety of the international law of peace within the framework of
a jurisprudential system. --Hersch Lauterpacht, British Yearbook of
International Law 29 (1952) 509, 513 Possibly the most influential
jurisprudent of the twentieth century, HANS KELSEN 1881-1973] was
legal adviser to Austria's last emperor and its first republican
government, the founder and permanent advisor of the Supreme
Constitutional Court of Austria, and the author of Austria's
Constitution, which was enacted in 1920, abolished during the
Anschluss, and restored in 1945. He was the author of more than
forty books on law and legal philosophy. Active as a teacher in
Europe and the United States, he was Dean of the Law Faculty of the
University of Vienna and taught at the universities of Cologne and
Prague, the Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Harvard,
Wellesley, the University of California at Berkeley, and the Naval
War College.
