PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Claire Vergerio is Assistant Professor of International Relations in the Institute of Political Science, Leiden University, the Netherlands.
'Claire Vergerio's book is a tour de force. She reveals the deep history of a myth upon which so much of the field of international relations is born, and from it our understandings of sovereignty, war, and the leap to the modern world. By exposing the readings and cult of Alberico Gentili as the source of this vision, she clears the way to explore different orders for our times, alternatives with their own narratives.' Jeremy I. Adelman, Princeton University 'Claire Vergerio has written a superb account of the ideas and reception of the important jurist Alberico Gentli. Spanning centuries, her acute analysis traces the development of his thought, and the impact it had on a variety of debates and discourses about the morality and laws of war, from the early modern era to the twentieth century. Theoretically innovative and historically rich, War, States and International Order is an impressive work of scholarship.' Duncan Bell, University of Cambridge 'Its remarkable erudition and meticulous attention to detail make War, States, and International Order an outstanding piece of scholarship, situated where the concerns of legal history, history of political thought and international relations intersect.'
