Synopsis
Hook line: A clear, thoughtful look at what international law can do for world peace and what it cannot.
This concise study traces the idea of law among nations, its limits, and the search for lasting order after war. It connects historical practice, judicial authority, and political ideals to the question of how a “reign of law” might guide global relations.
Drawing on debates about international and supernational norms, the work contrasts voluntary compliance with binding authority and examines the roles of courts, governments, and powerful alliances in securing a just peace.
- Definitions and scope: what international law covers and where it begins and ends.
- Institutions and decisions: how courts and tribunals shape the rule of law among states.
- Historical context: parallels from civil and constitutional law that illuminate present debates.
- Limits and possibilities: the promise and perils of ideas like a League of Nations and supra-national governance.
Ideal for readers of history, law, and public affairs who want a grounded view of law as a guide for civilization.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a critical analysis of the prevailing societal issues in the early 20th century, particularly during the tumultuous period of World War I. The author contends that the war's core issue was the battle for the supremacy of law over lawlessness, as exemplified by Germany's disregard for international treaties and embrace of "might makes right." The discourse extends beyond the war, examining the challenges faced by democracies, including political corruption, inefficient governance, and the influence of demagogues. The author emphasizes the crucial role of institutions like the Supreme Court of the United States and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice. He advocates for reforms such as proportional representation and the establishment of a supreme court for the civilized world to strengthen international law and foster peace. The book underscores the importance of ethical science and social service education to create responsible citizens who understand their rights and duties. Ultimately, this book's exploration of law, governance, and international relations during a pivotal historical moment provides valuable insights into the enduring challenges of building a just and peaceful society.
