The United States quickly annexed the Philippines and Puerto Rico, seized control over Cuba and the Panama Canal Zone, and extended political and financial power throughout Latin America. This age of empire, Benjamin Allen Coates argues, was also an age of international law. Justifying America's empire with the language of law and civilization, international lawyers - serving simultaneously as academics, leaders of the legal profession, corporate attorneys, and high-ranking government officials - became central to the conceptualization, conduct, and rationalization of US foreign policy. Just as international law shaped empire, so too did empire shape international law. Legalist Empire shows how the American Society of International Law was animated by the same notions of "civilization" that justified the expansion of empire overseas. Using the private papers and published writings of such figures as Elihu Root, John Bassett Moore, and James Brown Scott, Coates shows how the newly-created international law profession merged European influences with trends in American jurisprudence, while appealing to elite notions of order, reform, and American identity. By projecting an image of the United States as a unique force for law and civilization, legalists reconciled American exceptionalism, empire, and an international rule of law. Under their influence the nation became the world's leading advocate for the creation of an international court. Although the legalist vision of world peace through voluntary adjudication foundered in the interwar period, international lawyers - through their ideas and their presence in halls of power - continue to infuse vital debates about America's global role." -- Publisher's website. 000756893 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000756893 650_0 $$aInternational law$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000756893 650_0 $$aInternational and municipal law$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000756893 650_0 $$aImperialism$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000756893 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y20th century. 000756893 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCoates, Benjamin Allen.$$tLegalist empire.$$dNew York : Oxford University Press, 2016$$z9780190495954$$w(DLC) 2015046611$$w(OCoLC)930786552 000756893 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000756893 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190495954.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000756893 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756893$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756893 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756893 980__ $$aBIB 000756893 982__ $$aEbook 000756893 983__ $$aOnline
