This book is based on an international project conducted by the
Institute for European Studies of the University CEU San Pablo in
Madrid and a seminar on Vitoria and International Law which took
place on July 2nd 2015 in the convent of San Esteban, the place
where Vitoria spent his most productive years as Chair of Theology
at the University of Salamanca. It argues that Vitoria not only
lived at a time bridging the Middle Ages and Modernity, but also
that his thoughts went beyond the times he lived in, giving us
inspiration for meeting current challenges that could also be
described as "modern" or even post-modern. There has been renewed
interest in Francisco de Vitoria in the last few years, and he is
now at the centre of a debate on such central international topics
as political modernity, colonialism, the discovery of the "Other"
and the legitimation of military interventions. All these subjects
include Vitoria's contributions to the formation of the idea of
modernity and modern international law. The book explores two
concepts of modernity: one referring to the post-medieval ages and
the other to our times. It discusses the connections between the
challenges that the New World posed for XVIth century thinkers and
those that we are currently facing, for example those related to
the cyberworld. It also addresses the idea of international law and
the legitimation of the use of force, two concepts that are at the
core of Vitoria's texts, in the context of "modern" problems
related to a multipolar world and the war against terrorism. This
is not a historical book on Vitoria, but a very current one that
argues the value of Vitoria's reflections for contemporary issues
of international law.
This volume offers a unique reflection on the historic and
contemporary influence of the New Approaches to International Law
(NAIL) movement within the context of Europe and America. In
particular, the contributions focus on the intellectual product of
NAIL's founder, David Kennedy, in relation to three legal streams:
human rights, legal history, and the law of war. On the one hand,
the volume is valuable reading for a broad audience interested in
the current challenges facing global governance, and how critical
studies might contribute to innovative intellectual and
practice-oriented developments in international law. On the other
hand, stemming from a 2010 seminar in Madrid that brought together
scholars to discuss David Kennedy's scholarship over the last three
decades, the contributions here are a testament to the community
and ideas of the NAIL tradition. The volume includes scholars from
a wide field of legal interests and backgrounds.

This book deals with Vitoria, Charles V and Erasmus. Vitoria's
ideas had a major influence on Charles V and his European and
American policy. In turn, Erasmus' humanism was decisive in the
formation of a new international order intellectually discussed by
Vitoria and put into practice by the Emperor. Shedding new light on
the influence of Francisco de Vitoria and Erasmus on Charles V's
imperial policy, the book's goal is to explore the impact of
Vitoria's thought with regard to the history of, and contemporary
issues in, international law, while also comparing his thinking
with that of the well-known humanist Erasmus and assessing their
respective influences on the imperial policy of Charles V.
