A Normative Approach to War - Peace, War, and Justice in Hugo Grotius (Hardcover)

This collection of papers provides a commentary on and critique of Grotius' "De Jure Pacs ac Belli". It is the product of a joint research project on Grotius' book, carried out by the Research Group on the Fundamental Theory of International Law, headed by the editor. An awareness among a group of young international law scholars in Japan of the need to reconsider the methodology and fundamental problems of international law led to the formation of the group in 1976. Its purpose is to carry out basic research on the theory of international law, including its validity as law, the normativity and rationalizing function of international law, and the relations between international law and, in particular, international politics, justice, war, structural violence and colonialism. Through these researches, the group seeks to clarify its own views, to understand current problems of international law within their philosophical, political, historical and multi-cultural context, and ultimately to develop an approach which can overcome the defects of the so-called "positivistic" approach without reducing the science of international law to an ideology whose actual role is to justify the value
