Présentation de l’éditeur

What could the critically labelled 'crown jurist of the Third Reich' and a 16th-century Dominican friar at Salamanca University—long revered as the founding father of international law during the age of discovery—possibly share? This pioneering multi-author volume is the first to examine the Vitoria–Schmitt nexus in the history and theory of international law, bringing together two classic thinkers whose radically different yet profoundly influential ideas continue to shape international law and political thought well into the 21st century.
