The articles in this volume trace the development of the theory
that humanity forms a single world community and that there exists
a body of law governing the relations among the members of that
community. These ideas first appeared in the writings of the
medieval canon lawyers and received their fullest development in
the writings of early modern Spanish intellectuals. Conflict and
contact with 'the infidel' provided a stimulus for the elaboration
of these ideas in the later Middle Ages, but major impetus was
given by the English subjugation of Ireland, and by the discovery
of the Americas. This body of work paved the way for the modern
notions of an international legal order and universal norms of
behavior usually associated with the publication of Hugo Grotius's
work in the seventeenth century.
