Swiss-born Emer de Vattel (1714-1767) was one of the last eminent
thinkers of natural law. He shaped the later part of early-modern
natural jurisprudence. At the time, the subject had become a
fashionable academic sub-discipline in both jurisprudence and
philosophy. Vattel's considerable impact on statesmen, political
thinkers, diplomats and lawyers during his lifetime and after
rested primarily on the fact that his The Law of Nations (1758)
transformed natural law into the basis of a more comprehensive and
practicable theory of interstate relations. His ideas served to
promote reform programmes whose comprehensive natures spanned the
domains of economic reform, constitutionalism and international
diplomacy and foreign trade policy. Vattel's conception centred
round the principle that defined all sovereign states as nations
composed of societies of free men and profoundly influenced legal
and political debates in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
