International Community and the Right of War

"The International Community and the Right of War" is a profound examination of the ethical, sociological, and legal dimensions of global conflict and cooperation. Written by the influential philosopher and sociologist Luigi Sturzo, this work delves into the concept of the international community as an evolving entity. Sturzo challenges traditional notions of absolute state sovereignty, arguing instead for a unified international order capable of transcending the historical "right of war."

By tracing the evolution of the theory of just war and the emergence of modern international law, the book offers a visionary perspective on the necessity of institutionalized peace. Sturzo's analysis remains a significant contribution to political science and social thought, providing a framework for understanding how collective security and international cooperation can mitigate the destructive tendencies of nationalism. This volume serves as a critical resource for scholars of international relations and political philosophy, offering a rigorous intellectual defense for the rule of law on a global scale and exploring the sociological conditions necessary for a lasting world peace.
