| Research Abstract |
This three-year research project has been carried out, organizing intensive semi-annual seminars among members and occasional public symposiums, through the examination of works of so-called "realist" in international legal scholarship such as Julius Stone, Hans Morgenthau, Georg Schwarzenberger, Charles de Visscher, and Prosper Weil.
During the first two-year period (2002 to 2003), we have examined possibilities of realism in international legal scholarship, reading all the major works of Stone, Schwarzenberger, and Weil. An important finding is the existence of an internal relationship between realism and legal positivism, elucidated through an investigation of their prima facie contradictory combination, as is the case with Schwarzenberger.
In the last year (2004), we set to the completion and publication of the results of the project, with an emphasis on the theoretical implication of the relationship between law and power in international society. The main results are to be published in the forthcoming year as a book temporarily titled, Law and Power in International Society.
