Presenting the first critical analysis of Carl Schmitt's The Nomos
of the Earth and how it relates to the epochal changes in the
international system that have risen from the collapse of the
'Westphalian' international order.
There is an emerging recognition in political theory circles
that core issues, such as order, social justice, rights, need to be
studied in their global context. Schmitt's international political
thought provides a stepping stone in these related paths, offering
an alternative history of international relations, of the genesis,
achievements and demise of the 'Westphalian system.' Writing at a
time when he believed that the spatial, political and legal
order-the nomos of the earth-had collapsed, he highlighted the
advent of the modern state as the vehicle of secularization,
tracing how this interstate order was able to limit and
'rationalize and humanize' war. Providing a large number of case
studies including: global terrorism, humanitarian intervention and
US hegemony, this book will give further impetus to, and expand,
the nascent debate on the significance of Schmitt's legal and
political thought for international politics.
The International Political Thought of Carl Schmitt will be of
interest to students and scholars of international relations, law
and history.
