Brill is
publishing a book on the life and intellectual legacy of T.M.C. Asser.
ABOUT THE
BOOK
This publication presents a comprehensive
review of the life and intellectual legacy of the Dutch Nobel Peace laureate
and father of the Hague tradition of international law. It is the first
research study based on a wealth of recently disclosed private and family
files, and deepens and modifies all earlier evaluations. It enlarges on Asser’s
achievements as legal practitioner, university don, pioneer of private
international law, diplomat and arbitrator, and State Councillor. It discusses
his durable impact as founder of international law bodies and institutions. It
likewise highlights the impressive Asser family tradition that exemplifies
19th-century Jewish emancipation in Amsterdam, addresses Asser’s youth and
student years, his role as family man and the impact of personal drama on his
career.
