This Book Deals With Discourses On War And Normativity In The Formation Of Modern International Order. It Engages With The Old, Yet Insufficiently Researched Question Of Whether, According To Which Norms, And-most Importantly-since When The Use Of Force By States Has Been Regulated Under International Law In Modern History. In This Analytical Context, The Study Develops The Argument That A State's Decision To Wage War (ius Ad Bellum) Has Not Only Been Constrained By International Norms Since The Mid-20th Century, As Historiographies Of International Order Usually Hold. Rather, It Points To The Special Significance Of The 'long 19th Century' (1789-1918). My Main Argument Is That The Modern Normative Order Governing The Use Of Force In International Relations Did Not Emerge With A 'big Bang' After The First World War, As It Is Generally Assumed. Rather, Its Roots Lie In The 19th-century European Discourse On The Normativity Of War (including Europe's Confrontation With Non-european Political Entities)-- Provided By Publisher.
