The history of war is also a history of its justification. The contributions to this book argue that the justification of war rarely happens as empty propaganda. While it is directed at mobilizing support and reducing resistance, it is not purely instrumental. Rather, the justification of force is part of an incessant struggle over what is to count as justifiable behaviour in a given historical constellation of power, interests, and norms. This way, the justificationof specific wars interacts with international order as a normative frame of reference for dealing with conflict. The justification of war shapes this order, and is being shaped by it.As the justification of specific wars entails a critique of war in general, the use of force in international relations has always been accompanied by political and scholarly discourses on its appropriateness. In much of the pertinent literature the dominating focus is on theoretical or conceptual debates as a mirror of how international normative orders evolve. In contrast, the focus of the present volume is on theory and political practice as sources for the re- and de-construction of the wayin which the justification of war and international order interact.With contributions from international law, history, and international relations, and from Western and non-Western perspectives, this book offers a unique collection of papers exploring the continuities and changes in war discourses as they respond to and shape normative orders from early modern times to the present.

The nineteenth century has been understood as an age in which states could wage war against each other if they deemed it politically necessary. According to this narrative, it was not until the establishment of the League of Nations, the Kellogg-Briand Pact, and the UN Charter that the ''free right to go to war'' (liberum ius ad bellum) was gradually outlawed. Better times dawned as this anarchy of waging war ended, resulting in radical transformations of international law and politics. However, as a ''free right to go to war'' has never been empirically proven, this story of progress is puzzling. In A Century of Anarchy?: War, Normativity, and the Birth of Modern International Order, Hendrik Simon challenges this narrative by outlining a genealogy of modern war justifications and drawing on scientific, political, and public discourses. He argues that liberum ius ad bellum is an invention created by realist legal scholars in Imperial Germany who argued against the mainstream of European liberalism and, paradoxically, that the now forgotten Sonderweg reading was universalized in international historiographies after the World Wars. A Century of Anarchy? is a compelling read for historians, jurists, political theorists, international relations scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the emergence of the modern international order. In this groundbreaking work, Simon not only artfully deconstructs the myth of liberum ius ad bellum but also traces the political and theoretical roots of the modern prohibition of war to the long nineteenth century (1789-1918).

Ein leidenschaftliches Pladoyer fur die Starke des Rechts gegen das Recht des Starkeren Der Krieg ist zuruck in Europa! , hei t es und mit ihm die Angst. Mussen wir wieder die Sprache der Machtpolitik lernen, um den Frieden zu sichern? Stehen wir wirklich vor dem Ende der regelbasierten Ordnung?Der preisgekronte Friedensforscher Hendrik Simon bezieht in dieser hitzigen Debatte klar Stellung: Krieg war nie blo e Politik, er musste stets gerechtfertigt werden. Simon zerlegt die Argumente der Realpolitiker und zeigt anhand historischer und aktueller Beispiele von der US-Au enpolitik bis zum russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine , warum das Volkerrecht keine naive Traumerei ist, sondern unser wichtigster Schutzschild gegen Willkur. Eine brillante, verstandliche Analyse, die Orientierung in unsicheren Zeiten bietet und Mut macht, das Recht entschieden gegen die Macht zu verteidigen.
