"Covering four decades of international affairs, Nicholas Onuf, one of the fathers of constructivist international relations theory and in depth connoisseur of international law, bears witness to the whole range of international legal theorising during the second half of the twentieth century -- a 'must read' for all those interested in the way theoretical thinking developed in this discipline." Professor Florian Hoffman, Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro
