In the formation of the modern law of nations, peace treaties
played a pivotal role. Many basic principles and rules that
governed and still govern relations between states were introduced
and elaborated in the great peace treaties from the Renaissance
onwards. Nevertheless, until recently few scholars have studied
these primary sources of the law of nations from a juridical
perspective. In this edited collection, specialists from all over
Europe, including legal and diplomatic historians, international
lawyers and an International Relations theorist, analyse peace
treaty practice from the late fifteenth century to the Peace of
Versailles of 1919. Important emphasis is given to the doctrinal
debate about peace treaties and the influence of older, Roman and
medieval concepts on modern practices. This book goes back further
in time beyond the epochal Peace of Treaties of Westphalia of 1648
and this broader perspective allows for a reassessment of the role
of the sovereign state in the modern international legal order.
