The study attempts to analyze the contributions of the Italian classic School of international law through the lenses of the international relations theory. To this effect, several important theoretical concepts in international law dealt with by some prominent members of the Italian classic School were selected. The approaches adopted by the Italian lawyers towards these concepts are then employed to qualify their (sometimes implied) view on the international affairs, using the categories of the international relations theory. The conclusion also stresses the difference between the conceptions of law as a system of rules and law as discourse, and why this distinction can be helpful in the field of International Relations theory.
