Review
Highly informative and interesting. Boyle puts the different policy initiatives under the general 'legalist' framework, and he makes sense of this period in the history of U.S. international relations.Q-John Quigley, author of The Ruses for War: American Interventionism since World War II0B0BQSpecialists in the field of America n diplomatic history and the jurisprudence of international law should welcome this work. There is no other that covers the same ground.Q- Alfred P. Rubin, author of Ethics and Authority in International Law0B0B

Product Description
In "Foundations of World Order", Francis Anthony Boyle provides the first historically comprehensive analysis of U.S. foreign policy regarding international law and organizations. Examining the period from the Spanish American War to the establishment of the League of Nations and the Permanent Court of International Justice, Boyle argues that the international legal framework created at the beginning of the twentieth century not only influenced the course of American foreign policy but also provided the foundation upon which relations among states were built.Although both the League of Nations and the Permanent Court of International Justice were rejected by the U.S. Senate, Boyle shows how the early governance of these institutions - precursors, respectively, to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice - informed later efforts to reduce and regulate transnational threats and the use of military force. Delving into such topics as the United States and its initial stance of neutrality in World War I and its imperial policy toward Latin America and the Caribbean, Boyle offers detailed readings of the relevant treaties, tribunals, and conferences, and assesses the political actors involved.Taking up the legalist point of view, he discusses the codification of customary international law, the obligatory arbitration of international disputes, and the creation of a new regime for the settlement of such disputes. Boyle has provided in "Foundations of World Order" a compelling portrait of the relationship between political power and law, and of the impact of these forces on U.S. diplomacy. This volume will serve as a valuable resource to students, scholars, and practitioners of international law; it will also be of great interest to historians and political scientists engaged with issues of U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic history.
