Description
The Enemy of All: Piracy and the Law of Nations Daniel Heller-Roazen explores how the concept of piracy has evolved over time, from ancient Rome to modernity. He examines the shifting place of the pirate in legal and political thought, revealing how this notion of an "enemy of all" continues to influence contemporary international law and politics. The Roman jurists assigned the pirate a unique position in civil and international law, which was later adopted by Christian jurists and thinkers of the Enlightenment. Today, Heller-Roazen argues that the pirate remains a key figure in modern international relations, inhabiting an extraterritorial region that states may struggle to control. This book offers a fascinating analysis of how piracy has been perceived and regulated throughout history, shedding light on the complexities of international law and politics.
