Natural Law: A Study in Legal and Social History and Philosophy (trans. by Th omas R.
Hanley; Liberty Fund, 1998 [1936]), although it, too, is not focused on international
law.
Since practically every book on international relations or international politics con-
tains at least something of legal relevance, there is no point in even attempting a com-
prehensive list. Several works on the history of international relations, however, do
merit specifi c mention. Th ese include Andreas Osiander, Before the State: Systemic
Po liti cal Change in the West from the Greeks to the French Revolution (Oxford Univer-
sity Press, 2007); Andrew Phillips, War, Religion and Empire: Th e Transformation of
International Orders (Cambridge University Press, 2010); and Adam Watson, Th e
Evolution of International Society (Routledge, 1992). For histories of international re-
lations theory, see Torbjørn L. Knutsen, A History of International Relations Th eory
(2nd ed.; Manchester University Press, 1997); Brian C. Schmidt, Th e Po liti cal Dis-
course of Anarchy: A Disciplinary History of International Relations (State Universit y
of New York Press, 1998); David Boucher, Po liti cal Th eories of International Relations:
From Th ucydides to the Present (Oxford University Press, 1998); and Frank M. Russell,
Th eories of International Relations (D. Appleton- Century, 1936), still remarkably use-
ful despite its age. On the interplay between international law and international rela-
tions theory generally, a fi ne overview is Anne- Marie Slaughter Burley, “International
Law and International Relations Th eory: A Dual Agenda,” 87 AJIL 205– 39 (1993). For
an interesting series of explorations of why non- Western societies have not developed
a systematic science of international relations, see Amitav Acharya and Barry Buzan
(ed s.), Non- Western International Relations Th eory: Perspectives on and beyond Asia
(Routledge, 2010).
Th ere are surprisingly few works on national traditions in international law. A par-
ticularly notable entrant in this fi eld is Angelo Piero Sereni, Th e Italian Conception of
International Law (Columbia University Press, 1943). On the United States, see Mark
W. Ja n i s , Th e American Tradition of International Law: Great Expectations 1789– 1914
(Oxford University Press, 2004), which is a stimulating pre sen ta tion of several themes,
though not a systematic treatment. On Rus sia, see V. E. Grabar, Th e History of Interna-
tional Law in Rus sia, 1647– 1917: A Bio- Bibliographical Study (Clarendon Press, 1990).
- Doing Justice to Others
For those interested in theories of an innate, biologically based sense of justice in hu-
mans, much of interest may be found in Marc D. Hauser, Moral Minds: How Nature
Designed Our Universal Sense of Right and Wrong (Ecco, 2006); and Laurence R. Tan-
credi, Hardwired Behavior: What Neuroscience Reveals about Morality (Ca mbridge
University Press, 2005). For powerful opposition to biological explanations of human
social behavior, see Jesse J. Prinz, Beyond Human Nature: How Culture and Experi-
ence Shape Our Lives (Allen Lane, 2012). For the controversial thesis of a normative (if
