The law of Peoples is John Rawl's most comprehensive and systematic statement of his international thought. It is remarkable and unsual essay. The normative scope is surprisingly broad for a work of this lenght, embracing subjects from the morality of war to the international distribution of resources to the ethics of statesmanship. The theory aim sto be continous with the political theory of a liberal, democratic political culture-indeed, to illustrate that such a theory is incomplete without an articulate understanding of the society's international responsibilities. Rawls's view is consitent with the most revoluntionary developments in international law in the twentieth century-the limitation of war to purposes of self-defense and the subordination of national sovereignty to international standars of political legitimacy embodied in the doctrine of human rights, of which he provides an original and provocative interpretation. The view is situated in the intellectual context of modern embodied in doctrine of human rights, of which he provides an original and provocative interpretation. The view is situated in the intellectual context of modern Anglo-American international thought, aspiring to occupy the middle ground between the skepticism of the so-called realists and a politically inert utopianism. The tone is more personal, and Rawls's conception of our historical situation is made expilicit, than in his ealier works. Together with his paper, "The Idea of Public Reason Revisted" (republilished, as he writes, lished in the same volume), The Law of Peoples represents, as he writes, "the culmination of my reflections on how reasonable citizens and peoples might live together peacefully in a just world" (p.vi). For all of these reasons, this essay ranks among Rawls's most important works in political theory and among the really constructive contributions to international thought of our time.
