A Normative Approach to War: Peace, War, and Justice in Hugo Grotius

By: Onamu

This work presents a scholarly commentary and critique of Hugo Grotius' De Jure Belli ac Pacis. It shows that, far from being a bookish theoretician indulging in the construction of an abstract system, Grotius ultimately aimed to create a practically oriented treatise focusing on "regulating and restraining war." It also re-examines the historiography of international law with its anachronistic Eurocentric bias.
