Reviews

'Vollerthun provides an original and balanced reading of one of the critical phases in the formation of international law. Bringing unexpected authors, such as Erasmus, to the table, she shows in which respects Grotius failed to integrate a complex discussion that responded to urgent needs of his time and would become one of international law's main tenets, Grotian or not.' Andreas Wagner, Goete Universitat, Frankfurt am Main Advance praise: 'Vollerthun provides an original and balanced reading of one of the critical phases in the formation of international law.

Author Information

Ursula Vollerthun (1937‒2011) came relatively late to International Relations. With a background in Political Science and the History and Philosophy of Science, she pursued the present topic for her thesis in the Department of International Relations in the then Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University. James L. Richardson was Professor of Political Science (1975‒85), later of International Relations (1986‒98), at the Australian National University, Canberra. He is author of Germany and the Atlantic Alliance (1966), Crisis Diplomacy (Cambridge, 1994) and Contending Liberalisms in World Politics (2001). After Ursula Vollerthun's death, he devoted himself to this work.
