Abstract

In this work I argue an interpretation on Thomas Hobbes’s thought and its relation with international law. Several scholars argue that Hobbes reject the international law. Nevertheless, I will prove that it is possible to find a legal theory on international law in his works, if it takes to account the historical context and the peculiarities of global order in the Modern Age. In this way it is possible to understand why Carl Schmitt said that Hobbes was one of the founders of Ius Publicum Europaeum, sentence that the German jurist did not prove. My aim is to locate Thomas Hobbes into the History of Legal International Ideas.
