About:
__

In this edited collection, specialists from all over Europe analyse peace treaty practice from the late fifteenth century to the Peace of Versailles of 1919. An important place is given to the doctrinal debate about peace treaties and the influence of older, Roman and medieval, concepts on modern practices. This book goes back further in time beyond the epo chal Peace Treaties of Westphalia of 1648, and this broader perspective allows for a reassessment of the role of the sovereign state in the modern international legal order.
