Abstract

Modern international law has entered the fifth century of its evolution, characterized by a constant transformation of the content and modalities of the legal order. The international society that we know today, and the one we can perceive in the future, is also very different from that which characterized seventeenth century Europe and the transformations that took place up to and including the twentieth century. We are, undoubtedly, before a global society. The question that remains, however, is whether the nature of the international legal order that governs that society has fundamentally changed or whether we are facing a process of gradual transformation within certain principles that remain substantially unchanged. It is the issue of the limits and opportunities that international law finds in global society.
