A Farewell to Fragmentation
Exploring the role of the International Court of Justice in the re-convergence of international law, this book contends that the court's jurisprudence is transforming traditional concepts such as sovereignty, rights and jurisdiction and in so doing is leading a trend towards the reunification of international law.
The Roots of International Law / Les fondements du droit international
This collection of essays gathers contributions from leading international lawyers from different countries, generations and angles with the aim of highlighting the multifaceted history of international law. This volume questions and analyses the origins and foundations of the international legal system. A particular attention is devoted to Hugo Grotius as one of the founding fathers of the law of nations. Several contributions further question the positivist tradition initiated by Vattel and endorsed by scholars of the 19th Century. This immersion in the intellectual origins of international law is enriched by an inquiry into the practice of the law of nations, including its main patterns a...

Five Legal Revolutions Since the 17th Century
This book presents an analysis of global legal history in Modern times, questioning the effect of political revolutions since the 17th century on the legal field. Readers will discover a non-linear approach to legal history as this work investigates the ways in which law is created. These chapters look at factors in legal revolution such as the role of agents, the policy of applying and publicising legal norms, codification and the orientations of legal writing, and there is a focus on the publicization of law. The author uses Herbert Hart’s schemes to conceive law as a human artefact or convention, being the union between primary rules of obligations and secondary rules conferring powers....

Claude de Seyssel
Transportons-nous quelque cinq cents ans en arrière. Les idées nouvelles remontent de la Péninsule à la faveur des Guerres d'Italie et se diffusent dans les cercles lettrés. La percée de l'hellénisme se fait sentir, non sans susciter de vives réactions de l'Église. L'historiographie française connaît des mutations décisives, avec Thomas Basin et Philippe de Commynes, même si la tendance dominante reste aux grandes chroniques et histoires nationales. Chez le prélat Claude de Seyssel, conseiller du roi Louis XII, ces trois courants majeurs s'agrègent. Savoyard par ses origines, Seyssel vit à la charnière de deux mondes, la France et l'Italie, et de deux cultures. Élève et ad...
Jésuites et compagnie
Quatre siècles et demi après la mort de son fondateur Ignace de Loyola, la Compagnie de Jésus tient toujours une place fondamentale dans l'Eglise et dans l'entourage des papes, même si elle lui a été souvent contestée : ce fut notamment le cas avec l'Opus Dei pendant le pontificat de Jean-Paul II. Elle est présente sur tous les fronts - l'essor du christianisme en Asie, la mondialisation, la révolution Internet, le choc des biotechnologies et les interrogations éthiques qui l'accompagnent, l'environnement, le face-à-face avec l'islam, etc. -, et s'efforce d'inventer le christianisme de demain. C'est à travers son histoire mouvementée qu'Hervé Yannou dresse le portrait vivant et contrasté de la Compagnie et de ses quelque dix-neuf mille membres. Derrière le mythe de la puissance occulte des " hommes en noir ", quelle est la réalité d'aujourd'hui ? Quels sont leurs ambitions, leurs moyens, leurs alliés et leurs ennemis ? Au moment où l'avenir de l'Eglise après Jean-Paul II suscite bien des interrogations, cet ouvrage fait le point sur la Compagnie de Jésus et son héritage. Pour une part, l'avenir du christianisme se joue là.
