Infidels and Empires in a New World Order challenges the conventional narrative of international relations that begins with Westphalia in 1648 by delving a century back to the Spanish imperial debate at Valladolid, which focused on the conversion of indigenous peoples in the Americas. In addition to shedding light on this significant yet overlooked chapter from the colonial periphery of Western Europe, this book also explores the Anglo-Iberian Atlantic to examine how the ambiguous status of the infidel other under natural law and the law of nations culminated at Valladolid influenced subsequent international relations in subtle yet profound ways. From the conquistadors Hernán Cortés and Samuel Purchas to the theologian Bartolomé de las Casas and the Puritans of New England, a diverse range of unconventional colonial figures engage in dialogue with Francisco de Vitoria, Hugo Grotius, and John Locke, revealing surprising religious continuities and dissonances in early modern international legal thought that have significant implications for contemporary global society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 550g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 228 x 25 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108735575                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David M.Lantigua","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095027314938,"sku":"9781108735575","price":36.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/03fed0150aa440c6b4212505c5835231.jpg?v=1636431249","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/infidels-and-empires-in-a-new-world-order-early-modern-spanish-contributions-to-international-legal-thought","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
