7 The footnote after the classification makes reference to works by such political theorists as Joseph Nye, Charles Beitz and Hedley Bull. As “realists,” she names Kennan and Morgenthau (p. 33), while “State moralists” seem to include only Michael Walzer and Terry Nardin (pp. 34–35). Georg Schwarzenberger is the only European lawyer identified in the book—and this is done by reference to an old—1969—edition of his well-known Manual.
