Abstract
Abstract The term “perpetual peace” has been used by philosophers since the eighteenth century to describe an as yet unrealized state of relations in the international realm that would bring an end to all existing wars, and all reasons for future wars, between nations. Precedents for the idea of a perpetual peace can be found in many religious traditions, including in the well‐known biblical prophecy “They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” The first systematic attempts to outline proposals for perpetual peace, however, did not emerge until much later.
