About this listen
This book examines the largely overlooked but foundational contributions of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England (1653-1658), to the early development of international law and diplomatic practice. Through comprehensive analysis of Cromwell's foreign policy innovations, treaty negotiations, constitutional experiments, and humanitarian interventions, this study demonstrates that the Protectorate period marked a critical juncture in the evolution from medieval diplomatic customs toward modern international legal principles. Cromwell's Republican Protectorate established precedents in areas including state accountability, humanitarian intervention, religious tolerance in international relations, and constitutional governance that would profoundly influence subsequent developments in international law. The research reveals that Cromwell's approach to international relations, while rooted in Protestant ideology, introduced pragmatic legal innovations that transcended religious boundaries and contributed to the emergence of the Westphalian system. This analysis argues that Cromwell's international legal legacy, though overshadowed by his domestic political controversies, represents a crucial bridge between medieval and modern approaches to international governance, establishing principles that would later be codified in formal international legal instruments.
