ON THE SOCIOLOGY
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
AND
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY
The sociology of international relations occupied an important
place at the Sixth World Congress ofSociology, held in September
1966 in Evian, France. This relatively new branch ofsociology can
be viewed as the application of sociological methods to inter
national relations, particularly those in the non-governmental
sphere, or as an attempt to view world-society as a whole in terms
of a structural sociological approach.
The author chooses the second method in this book as he deerns
it essential that we should have a perspective on world-society as
such before we can deal in a constructive fashion with more specific
studies.
In the ever-widening field of the study of international relations
sociological theory may be able to fulfill a comparable function
with the one it had in regard to national societies: to create a
certain awareness of the interrelatedness of the social groups which
can be regarded as the social centres in world-society.
In this fashion it may supplement the thinking of international
law and ofpolitical science.

PREFACE
The present volume has been planned and prepared in meetings of the
Research Committee for the Sociology of Law of the International
Sociological Association at the initiative of its chairman, Renato
Treves, who also took upon himself editorial responsibility.
The first edition of the volume appeared in Italian under the title
La socioZogia deZ diritto. ProbZemi e ricerche. It was published in Milano,
August I966. The present English edition has the same contents as the
Italian volume with the addition of a concluding chapter by Ja n
Glastra van Loon.
This publication was undertaken with the purpose of presenting a
survey of recent trends in sociology of law in various countries of the
world. We hope that the growing interest in the discipline, as evidenced
by the large number of publications issued since the Italian edition of
*
this volume, may be considered as justification for this undertaking.
J. v. L. R. T.
* We should like to refer to the Law and Society Review published in the United States,
to the issue of Acta Sociologica, September 1966, devoted to sociology of law, and finally to
the many papers submitted to and discussed at the meetings of the Research Committee for
the Sociology of Law during the VIth World Congress of Sociology at Evian.
