Cox argues that Grotius' work on the Law of Nations is a perfect example of a scholar who was both progressive and conservative. Grotius' ideas and principles were progressive in that they challenged the traditional notions of international law and diplomacy, but they were also conservative in that they were based on the principles of natural law and the Christian faith.The author goes on to discuss how Grotius' ideas influenced the development of international law and diplomacy, and how they continue to shape the world today.
