: This article studies the role of international law in the Austrian republic after the First World War – a time of hope and concerns for the international legal order. Although the war was perceived as backlash for international law, its scholarship expanded in Austria until the mid-1920 s. The Austrian international lawyers strived to integrate themselves in the broader transnational academic community. Their contribution to this field developed out of the constitutional debates of the Habsburg Empire. However, the Austrian jurists also omitted to treat certain international issues in their scholarship, such as the relief program by the League of Nations for Austria's economy in crisis. Key Words : international lawyers, Austria, Interwar period, Hans Kelsen, international law, Positivism Resume : Cet article examine le role du droit international dans la Republique d'Autriche apres la Premiere guerre mondiale – un temps d'espoir et de souci pour l'ordre juridique mondial. Meme si la guerre avait ete percue comme un contrecoup pour le droit international, son etude s'est elargie en Autriche jusqu'au milieu des annees 1920. Les juristes internationaux ont cherche a s'integrer plus largement dans la communaute academique transnationale. Leur contribution a la discipline s'est developpee a travers les debats constitutionels portant sur l'Empire des Habsbourg. En revanche, les juristes autrichiens ont neglige certaines problematiques dans leurs etudes, a l'image du programme de secours introduit par la Societe des Nations pour l'economie autrichienne en crise. Mots-cles : juristes internationaux, Autriche, interbellum, Hans Kelsen, droit international, Postivisme
