摩根索于1920年代后期在德国完成了博士学位论文,后以《国际司法行政管理,其本质和局限性》(德語:Die internationale Rechtspflege, ihr Wesen und ihre Grenzen)为名于1929年出版。这是他出版的第一本书。[3]这本书由时任柏林大学法学教授的卡尔·施密特审阅。摩根索晚年的自传文章中提到,虽然他在访问柏林时曾期待与施密特会面,但会面进行得很不顺利,摩根索在离开时认为自己是遇到了“(用他自己的话说)恶魔”。[4]到了20世纪20年代末,施密特成为德国纳粹运动兴起的主要法学家,摩根索开始认为他们的立场是不可调和的。摩根索《政治的概念》的编者说:“《政治的概念》的读者……会很容易地认识到,摩根索从道德和概念上对施密特对政治的理解感到遗憾”。[5]
完成博士论文后,摩根索离开德国,在日内瓦完成了他的特许任教资格论文,获得了在大学教书的许可。这篇论文以法语出版,名为《规范的现实性,特别是国际法的规范:规范理论的基础》(法語:La Réalité des normes en particulier des normes du droit international: Fondements d'une théorie des normes)。[6]刚刚以教授的身份来到日内瓦的法律学者汉斯·凯尔森是这篇论文的指导,他是卡尔·施密特最激烈的批评者之一。凯尔森和摩根索此后成为了毕生的同事,甚至在两人都从欧洲移民到美国,担任各自的学术职务后也是如此。
1933年,摩根索用法语出版了第二本著作《政治的概念》(法語:La notion du "politique")。[7]摩根索试图阐明国家之间的法律纠纷与国家或其他诉讼当事人之间的政治纠纷的区别。推动这一探究的问题是:
