    Este artículo pretende cuestionar algunos de los supuestos habituales en la historiografía respecto de la construcción de la Sociedad de Naciones, tales como la validez de la disyuntiva entre idealistas y realistas o la sobrevaloración de la noción de seguridad colectiva. Para ello se analizan los principales proyectos de constitución para una hipotética organización internacional que circularon entre las élites anglo-americanas durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, atendiendo en particular al encuadre de las mismas dentro de dos lógicas que en aquel momento se entendían como contrapuestas: una perspectiva jurídica, que asumía el rule of law como instrumento sine qua non para garantizar la paz, y otra política, que promovía la construcción de un sistema de compromisos mutuos que a su debido tiempo iría evolucionando.

    The article questions some of the common assumptions found in political historiography regarding the establishment of the League of Nations, such as distinctions made between idealists and realists, and the exaggerated emphasis placed on the concept of collective security. The most relevant draft constitutions for such an international entity, circulated among the Anglo-American elites during World War I, are analyzed with a particular focus on how these memoranda were framed within what were considered to be two opposing perspectives. While the legal approach asserted that the rule of law is crucial for guaranteeing peace, the political approach sought to set up a system of mutual commitments that would evolve further in due course.
