This collection of papers provides a commentary on and critique of Grotius' "De jure pacs ac belli". It is the product of a joint research project on Grotius' book, carried out by the Research Group on the Fundamental Theory of International Law, headed by the editor.
The purpose of this work is to present a comprehensive view of Hugo Grotius''s main work De Jure Belli ac Pacis, a view based on the text. Its main argument shows that, far from being a bookish theoretician indulging himself in the construction of an abstract system, Grotius had in mind, above all, a practically oriented treatise aiming about all at ''regulating and restraining war''. At the same time the authors take the opportunity to re-examine the historiography of international law with its anachronistic Eurocentric bias.
