Question

How did international law emerged?

Is International Relations relevant to the Contemporary world?

Answer 1

The growth of international law came largely through treaties concluded among states accepted as members of the family of nations, which first included the states of Western Europe, then the states of the New World, and, finally, the states of Asia and other parts of the world. Modern international law has its origins in 16th- and 17th-century Europe. The modern history of international law, according to the author, began at the time of the French invasion of Italy under Charles VIII of France in 1494. Since then, there has been a modern system of states characterized by the principle of the balance of power and the 'infrastructure' of permanent diplomacy.
