Hugo Grotius a jeho význam pro mezinárodní vztahy

This bachelor thesis deals with the theory of an individual’s influence on international relations and provides an example of the specific case of Hugo Grotius. The logical structure of the practical part is divided into three sections: Grotius‘ adopted ideas and their interpretation, his own concepts and his extension to the present day. Through primary sources, i.e., the work of Hugo Grotius himself, it is determined how great his influence was on the formation of international relations in the modern age and what we can draw from it to this day. The research shows that many concepts of today’s international law are based on the principles explored by Hugo Grotius, and that his work is still relevant in today’s rapidly developing era.
