Summary note
"Although portrayed as a liberal law of co-existence of and co-operation between states, international law has always been a welfarist law, too. Not only did it minister to the interests of states and their concern for stability, but it was also an interventionist law designed to ensure the happiness and well-being of peoples. Hence, international law initially served as a secularized eschatological model, replacing the role of religion in ensuring the proper ordering of mankind, which was held to be both one and divided. That initial vision still drives our post-Cold War globalized world. Contemporary international law is neither strictly welfarist nor strictly liberal but is in fact liberal-welfarist. In the conjunction of these two purposes lies one of the keys to its meaning and a partial explanation for its continuing ambivalence"--P. [4] of cover.
