Morgenthau, Law and Realism

Klappentext This book is an ambitious attempt to recast the debate on Hans J. Morgenthau, a central figure in international relations. Zusammenfassung Oliver Jütersonke argues conventional assumptions in international relations about the origins of Morgenthau's realist thought are mistaken. Rather than locate Morgenthau's intellectual heritage in the German tradition of Realpolitik, this book demonstrates how many of his central concepts stem from European and American legal debates of the 1920s and 30s. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Hans J. Morgenthau in International Relations; 2. The justiciability of disputes; 3. Hans Kelsen and the reality of norms; 4. Legal realism and behaviouralist social science; 5. Legalism, romanticism and irresponsible statecraft; 6. The legacy of legal formalism.
