A Common Law: The Law of Nations and Western Civilization
This comprehensive legal and political analysis examines the fundamental ideological split within Western civilization, tracing the divergence between Anglo-American and Continental European legal traditions. Author Ruben Alvarado presents a detailed investigation into how these two distinct blocs operate with opposing agendas that shape global politics today.
Understanding the Ideological Divide
Western civilization is under siege from both external pressures and internal challenges demanding social justice reform. This book reveals that the true dynamic driving global politics is not "West versus the Rest," but rather a profound divergence within the West itself. The Anglo-American orbit and Continental European nations represent fundamentally different legal philosophies and governance approaches that cannot be reconciled.
Brexit, European Union, and Global Governance
The drive toward European Union gives formal shape to Continental Europe's ideological coherence, while Brexit demonstrates the United Kingdom's alignment with Anglo-American legal traditions. This perspective illuminates the forces behind global governance initiatives, universal jurisdiction debates, climate change policies, and the normalization of the sexual revolution—all expressions of Continental European ideology rather than universal Western values.
America's Position in the Global Dynamic
The USA inevitably stands in opposition to the Continental European agenda due to its fundamentally different legal tradition and ideology. This explains persistent anti-Americanism propagated through media, academia, and political parties even within American society itself. The ideological split runs through American institutions, weakening the nation from within as one tradition is home-grown while the other is imported.
Second Edition Features
Published on the 20th anniversary of the original release, this second edition includes the complete first edition supplemented with running commentary and additional material addressing developments post-2016. The expanded content brings the analysis forward to contemporary political situations, examining how these opposing orientations originated, their ongoing conflict, and potential outcomes.
Essential Reading for Legal and Political Scholars
This work serves as critical reading for law students, constitutional scholars, and anyone seeking to understand the law of nations, international legal frameworks, and the philosophical foundations of Western legal systems. The book addresses fundamental questions about political theory, legal philosophy, and the future trajectory of Western civilization's internal conflict.
