This book explores the history of the international order in the
eighteenth and nineteenth century through a new study of Emer de
Vattel's Droit des gens (1758). Drawing on unpublished sources from
European archives and libraries, the book offers an in-depth
account of the reception of Vattel's chief work. Vattel's focus on
the myth of good government became a strong argument for
republicanism, the survival of small states, drafting constitutions
and reform projects and fighting everyday battles for freedom in
different geographical, linguistic and social contexts. The book
complicates the picture of Vattel's enduring success and
usefulness, showing too how the work was published and translated
to criticize and denounce the dangerousness of these ideas. In
doing so, it opens up new avenues of research beyond histories of
international law, political and economic thought.
This edited collection offers a reassessment of the complicated
legacy of Emer de Vattel's Droit des gens, first published in 1758.
One of the most influential books in the history of international
law and a major reference point in the fields of international
relations theory and political thought, this book played a role in
the transformation of diplomatic practice in the eighteenth and
nineteenth century. But how did Vattel's legacy take shape? The
volume argues that the enduring relevance of Vattel's Droit des
gens cannot be explained in terms of doctrines and academic
disciplines that formed in the late nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Instead, the chapters show how the complex reception of
this book took shape historically and why it had such a wide
geographical and disciplinary appeal until well into the twentieth
century. The volume charts its reception through translations,
intellectual, ideological and political appropriations as well as
new practical usages, and explores Vattel's discursive and
conceptual innovations. Drawing on a wide range of sources, such as
archive memoranda and diplomatic correspondences, this volume
offers new perspectives on the book's historical contexts and
cultures of reception, moving past the usual approach of focusing
primarily on the text. In doing so, this edited collection forms a
major contribution to this new direction of study in intellectual
history in general and Vattel's Droit des gens in particular.
