The Nomos Of The Earth by Carl Schmitt
in the International Law of the Jus Publicum Europaeum
A dense legal‑philosophical investigation of how global order is produced through concrete acts of appropriation, boundary‑making, and the division of land and sea, arguing that international law and sovereignty are rooted less in abstract moral principles than in the spatial practices of land‑taking, colonization, and maritime domination; it traces the historical transformation of European discovery, colonization, and the Westphalian settlement into a spatialized ‘law of peoples,’ critiques liberal universalism by foregrounding decisionist sovereignty and power, and reframes modern international law as an expression and instrument of geopolitical ordering rather than a neutral normative system.
