In fact, when pinpointing the legal system's most accelerated phases of development, it becomes increasingly apparent how integral utopianism has been in dealing with the international community's most troubled periods such as the World Wars. However, States have on numerous occasions undermined utopianism, leading to situations where individuals and communities have been vulnerable to modes of oppression such as war or repressive regimes. Thus, by examining the League of Nations and United Nations, this book seeks to show why utopianism continues to be a vital ingredient when the international community is seeking to ensure its loftiest and most ambitious goals such as maintaining international peace and security, and why for the sake of such utopian aspirations, the primary position States enjoy in international law requires reassessment--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $t Utopianism and state primacy in international law. $t Emancipatory idealism : a utopian focal goal of international law -- $t States and utopian goals of international law -- $t The life and death of the League of Nations -- $t The United Nations Security Council and power politics -- $g Conclusion: $t Utopianism and state primacy in international law. 610 20 $a League of Nations. 610 20 $a United Nations. 610 27 $a League of Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00537247 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 650 0 $a International law $x History. 650 0 $a Effectiveness and validity of law. 650 0 $a Obedience (Law) 650 0 $a Utopias $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a International relations. 650 7 $a International law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976984 650 7 $a Effectiveness and validity of law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903764 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Obedience (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01042721 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030647896 830 0 $a Philosophy, public policy, and transnational law. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021624.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=98F5BC56FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
