Two Ideas Of International Organization, John H. Barton
Two Ideas Of International Organization, John H. Barton
Michigan Law Review
Political theory has long sought a philosophical basis for such ideas as law, authority, and freedom - but usually within the context of the nationstate.

Sometimes the political theory becomes purely altruistic and utopian; at other times it works to support the irresponsibility of individual governments and the breakup of international order.

And Gray's dictum remains unquestioned today. But, after more than two hundred years in our jurisprudence, the import of that principle is still uncertain and disputed.
