It asserts that international law is vulnerable to criticisms of being either an irrelevant moralist utopia or an apology to Realpolitik. ''The Gentle Civilizer of Nations: The Rise and Fall of International Law 1870-1960'' (2001) has two agendas, first of which is to develop an intellectual history of international law, and to offer a critique of that history. The second is to offer a sociology of the profession of international law, using biographical studies of Hersch Lauterpacht, Carl Schmitt and Hans Morgenthau. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martti Koskenniemi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
