Abstract

Starting the 20th century, modern International Law started to face crucial challenges. This situation allowed to think about the shift of modern International Law, specifically from a classic state oriented International Law to a community oriented contemporary International Law; nonetheless, no clarification has been given regarding how this shift occurred. In this paper, we explore the reasons why contemporary International Law was not provided with a general theory that supports its appearance. In order to do this; we will use the concept of Revolution, Theory, Law and History and the connection they have in legal transformation. We will focus particularly in the concept of Revolution as a concept that entails traumatic effects in society that can collide with its collective memory. Afterwards, we will analyze the transcendental role of the History of International Law to understand any Revolution that might have shifted modern International Law into something else.
