International law burst on the scene as a new field in the late nineteenth century. Rage for Order finds the origins of international law in empires--especially in the British Empire's sprawling efforts to refashion the imperial constitution and use it to order the world in the early part of that century. Where did it come from?
Its successes are numerous. "Rage for Order is a book of exceptional range and insight. At a time when questions of law and legalism are attracting more and more attention from historians of 19th-century Britain and its empire, but still tend to be considered within very specific contexts, its sweep and ambition are particularly welcome...Rage for Order is a book that deserves to have major implications both for international legal history, and for the history of modern imperialism." --Alex Middleton, Reviews in History
