This analysis of Hans Kelsen's international law theory takes into
account the context of the German international legal discourse in
the first half of the twentieth century, including the reactions of
Carl Schmitt and other Weimar opponents of Kelsen. The relationship
between his Pure Theory of Law and his international law writings
is examined, enabling the reader to understand how Kelsen tried to
square his own liberal cosmopolitan project with his methodological
convictions as laid out in his Pure Theory of Law. Finally, Jochen
von Bernstorff discusses the limits and continuing relevance of
Kelsenian formalism for international law under the term of
'reflexive formalism', and offers a reflection on Kelsen's theory
of international law against the background of current debates over
constitutionalisation, institutionalisation and fragmentation of
international law. The book also includes biographical sketches of
Hans Kelsen and his main students Alfred Verdross and Joseph L.
Kunz.
