Imagining World Order - Literature and International Law in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1800 Tang ChenxiPevná vazba
In early modern Europe, international law emerged as a means of governing relations between rapidly consolidating sovereign states, purporting to establish a normative order for the perilous international world. In Imagining World Order, Chenxi Tang shows that international world order was as much a literary as a legal matter. However, it was intrinsically fragile and uncertain, for sovereign states had no acknowledged common authority that would create, change, apply, and enforce legal norms.
As the discourse of international law coalesced, literary works from romances and tragedies to novels responded to its unfulfilled ambitions and inexorable failures, occasionally affirming it, often contesting it, always uncovering its problems and rehearsing imaginary solutions.Tang highlights To begin with, the poetic imagination contributed to the making of international law.
