This book offers the first comprehensive account and re-appraisal
of the formative phase of what is often termed the 'Grotian
tradition' in international relations theory: the view that
sovereign states are not free to act at will, but are akin to
members of a society, bound by its norms. It examines the period
from the later fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries, focusing
on four thinkers: Erasmus, Vitoria, Gentili and Grotius himself,
and is structured by the author's concept of international society.
Erasmus' views on international relations have been entirely
neglected, but underlying his work is a consistent image of
international society. The theologian Francisco de Vitoria concerns
himself with its normative principles, the lawyer Alberico Gentili
- unexpectedly, the central figure in the narrative - with its
extensive practical applications. Grotius, however, does not
re-affirm the concept, but wavers at crucial points. This book
suggests that the Grotian tradition is a misnomer.
