Enemies of Mankind
In Enemies of Mankind Walter Rech offers a contextual history of the collective security doctrine articulated by Swiss international lawyer Emer de Vattel (1714-67) in the authoritative treatise Droit des gens of 1758.
Concepts and Contexts of Vattel's Political and Legal Thought
"The study of natural law and the law of nations in the early-modern period has expanded remarkably during the last decades. This has partly been inspired by contemporary concerns, in particular by the interest in the genealogy of human rights and the foundations of international law. However, natural law in this period has also been studied in its own historical right, with a view to understanding its intellectual sources and cultural and political uses. Early modern natural law emerged in a variety of forms at the volatile interface of theology, moral philosophy, political thought and jurisprudence. These "different models of natural law" have been described "as conflicting ways of configu...

Emer de Vattel and the Politics of Good Government
This book explores the history of the international order in the eighteenth and nineteenth century through a new study of Emer de Vattel’s Droit des gens (1758). Drawing on unpublished sources from European archives and libraries, the book offers an in-depth account of the reception of Vattel’s chief work. Vattel’s focus on the myth of good government became a strong argument for republicanism, the survival of small states, drafting constitutions and reform projects and fighting everyday battles for freedom in different geographical, linguistic and social contexts. The book complicates the picture of Vattel’s enduring success and usefulness, showing too how the work was published and translated to criticize and denounce the dangerousness of these ideas. In doing so, it opens up new avenues of research beyond histories of international law, political and economic thought.
