国际法史通常侧重于法律规则和学说的起源、法院和其他正式法庭的裁决、教授、法律理论家和外交官的观点，以及法律职业的演变。也就是说，国际法律史一直以律师和国家的关切为中心，反映了一种实证主义的国际立法愿景。我们需要一部更注重国际法实践的国际法历史--不仅是国家、高级别国家行为者、法律理论家和国家组织的国内和国际机构，而且还包括个人、低级别官员、私人团体和非政府行为者，以及在通常的论坛以外的地方--据说可以找到国际法--在日常应用中和通过这些规则援引、阐述和争辩规则。我们需要一部通俗易懂的国际法史。
Histories of international law have typically focused on the origins of legal rules and doctrines, the decisions of courts and other formal tribunals, the views of professors and legal theorists and diplomats, and the evolution of the legal profession. That is, international legal histories have centered on the concerns of lawyers and states and have reflected a positivist vision of international lawmaking. We need a history of international law that focuses more on international law in action – the invocation, elaboration, and contestation of rules in and through their everyday application, not just by states, high-level state actors, legal theorists, and state-organized domestic and international institutions, but also by individuals, low-level officials, private groups, and nongovernmental actors and in places outside of the usual fora where ‘international law’ is said to be found. We need a history of international law in the vernacular.
