States, as Ethico-Political Subjekts of International Law: The relationship between Theory and Practice in the International Politics of Samuel Pufendorf
No full textThis chapter focuses on the dialectical relationship between the various principles upon which the theory of international law as developed by Samuel Pufendorf is founded and supported. This theory is substantiated as much by principles of natural law, arising from the complex edifice of the duties of peace, as by strictly political criteria among which there are also, and not least, international treaties.

Dabei zeigt sich die durchdringende Ordnungskraft des besonderen Verhältnisses von Demokratie und Rechtsstaat in der deutschen Verfassungsdogmatik
Niccolò Machiavelli’s International Legal Thought: Culture, Contingency, and Construction
