This gathering seeks to unravel the mysteries of technological evolution and its enduring legacy upon the edifice of international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We are intrigued by the historical development of various technologies across different spatial and temporal contexts within international law. All papers that delve into the debates concerning technological change in international law or explore the influence of technological change on international law are warmly welcomed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Centuries have witnessed the inexorable march of technological innovation, each stride leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of international law. Technological change – whatever that may be, but as reasonably defined by an author - has impacted international law, just as international law has responded and evolved in the wake of new technological advancements. N</span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ew disciplines and fields emerged, and old doctrines and theories disappeared. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Novel technologies even prompt the emergence of entirely “new” fields of international law, such as international labor law, international environmental law, and air and space law, contributing to the so-called fragmentation of international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">History is rife with examples and case studies illustrating the intricate interplay between technology and international law. </span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">With regard to the law on the use of force, the requirement for a formal declaration of war has been undermined by the advancement of telecommunications. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Technological advancements in weaponry (e.g. chemical and nuclear weapons) have reshaped international humanitarian law. Similarly, the law of the seas has adjusted for innovations in ship-building and seafaring technologies (maps, cartography, GPS). </span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Technology also affects the way and extent to which states project their powers. The limit of three nautical miles no longer defines the limit of the territorial sea now that coastal batteries can shoot beyond this range. The industrial revolution also caused international law to evolve. The inventions of the telegraph and railway required new commercial arrangements, enabled the expansion of colonialism, and caused a surge of Western investments abroad. For example, in the mid-19th century, the industrial extraction of sugar from beets in Western Europe distorted the international sugar trade for decades, leading to the conclusion of dozens of treaties. Sometimes, an invention causes entirely new fields of international law to emerge. The airplane and space exploration created the need for aerospace law. But sometimes, too, international law fails to catch up with technological changes. For example, the Hague Convention on Explosives from Balloon in 1907 failed to become a general prohibition against aerial bombardments. Such failures to address technological change are equally important moments in the history of international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;

Though Bitcoin has been much discussed in recent years, a basic understanding of how it and gold would work as monetary standards is rare. Accessibly written by a pioneering economist, Better Money explains and evaluates gold, fiat, and Bitcoin standards without hype. White uses simple supply-and-demand analysis to explain how these standards work, evaluating their relative merits and explaining their response to shocks, allowing for informed comparisons between them. This book addresses common misunderstandings of the gold standard and Bitcoin, using historical evidence to review the history of money with emphasis on the contest between market and government provision. Known for his work on alternative monetary institutions, White offers a reasoned discussion of which standard is most likely to provide a better money.</div><br /><br />Introduction<br />pp 1-5<br /><br />1 - Markets and Governments in the History of Money<br />pp 6-38<br /><br />2 - How a Gold Standard Works<br />pp 39-75<br /><br />3 - Common Misconceptions about the Gold Standard<br />pp 76-120<div><br />4 - How a Fiat Standard Works<br />pp 121-152</div><div><br />5 - How a Bitcoin Standard Works<br />pp 153-190<br /><br />6 - Comparing and Contrasting Gold and Bitcoin Standards<br />pp 191-212</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">More info with <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/better-money/8B6D08E245653C381C9D3222028804AF#fndtn-information">CUP</a>.</div>Florenz Volkaerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505906805334346584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656514597154915882.post-44988692150719076442024-02-12T23:00:00.001+01:002024-02-12T23:00:00.155+01:00CALL FOR PAPERS: 19th ESIL Annual Conference, IG History of International Law Pre-conference Workshop, "Historical Perspectives on Technological Change and International Law" (4 September, 2024, Vilnius, DEADLINE: 22 March 2024)<p> </p><p><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4472c4; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: accent1;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4Gh1TF7x-6zcWos0bhD7YUgMzZMzYisYv2mYoCpQ7MS55ee9qhvwk76oG5wKmxUtYFwV-TZu-q1mrPd8OitkKFGusFqLRcP_x25AxYh8X3xTBZFCQKOzDhEsbf1Cod-HV8rVmjwojeLsyW8WW7WISDq7AcAx33z80tH6xPqcrzUpjCrekbTl5JhNxZ4o" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="305" data-original-width="944" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj4Gh1TF7x-6zcWos0bhD7YUgMzZMzYisYv2mYoCpQ7MS55ee9qhvwk76oG5wKmxUtYFwV-TZu-q1mrPd8OitkKFGusFqLRcP_x25AxYh8X3xTBZFCQKOzDhEsbf1Cod-HV8rVmjwojeLsyW8WW7WISDq7AcAx33z80tH6xPqcrzUpjCrekbTl5JhNxZ4o=w640-h206" width="640" /></a></b></div><b style="text-align: center;"><br /></b><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4472c4; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-themecolor: accent1;">2024

International Law cordially invites submissions of papers for its upcoming
workshop centered on the theme “<i>Historical Perspectives on Technological
Change and International Law</i>”. This gathering seeks to unravel the
mysteries of technological evolution and its enduring legacy upon the edifice
of international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We are intrigued by the historical development
of various technologies across different spatial and temporal contexts within
international law. All papers that delve into the debates concerning
technological change in international law or explore the influence of
technological change on international law are warmly welcomed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Centuries have witnessed the inexorable march
of technological innovation, each stride leaving an indelible mark on the
canvas of international law. Technological change – whatever that may be, but
as reasonably defined by an author - has impacted international law, just as
international law has responded and evolved in the wake of new technological
advancements. N</span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ew disciplines and fields emerged, and old doctrines and theories
disappeared. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Novel technologies even prompt the
emergence of entirely “new” fields of international law, such as international
labor law, international environmental law, and air and space law, contributing
to the so-called fragmentation of international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">History is rife with examples and case studies
illustrating the intricate interplay between technology and international law. </span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">With regard to the law
on the use of force, the requirement for a formal declaration of war has been
undermined by the advancement of telecommunications. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Technological advancements in weaponry (e.g. chemical
and nuclear weapons) have reshaped international humanitarian law. Similarly,
the law of the seas has adjusted for innovations in ship-building and seafaring
technologies (maps, cartography, GPS). </span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Technology also affects
the way and extent to which states project their powers. The limit of three
nautical miles no longer defines the limit of the territorial sea now that
coastal batteries can shoot beyond this range. The industrial revolution also
caused international law to evolve. The inventions of the telegraph and railway
required new commercial arrangements, enabled
the expansion of colonialism, and caused a surge of Western investments
abroad. For example, in the mid-19th century, the industrial extraction of
sugar from beets in Western Europe distorted the international sugar trade for
decades, leading to the conclusion of dozens of treaties. Sometimes, an
invention causes entirely new fields of international law to emerge. The airplane
and space exploration created the need for aerospace law. But sometimes, too,
international law fails to catch up with technological changes. For example,
the Hague Convention on Explosives from Balloon in 1907 failed to become a
general prohibition against aerial bombardments. Such failures to address
technological change are equally important moments in the history of
international law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

changes and international law, authors are encouraged to engage in discussions
evaluating how international law has both succeeded and failed to accommodate
and regulate technological changes. </span><span lang="EN-HK" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-HK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We welcome papers from all methodological

Going through the early attempts by the Institut de Droit International to address conflicts of criminal law in the area of competence, starting from what the author calls the “Belle Époque” of international law, is an experience in and of itself. Conflicts of criminal laws are a somewhat exotic topic, reflecting an approach aimed at addressing the solution of conflicts of laws and preventing their most evident repercussion, jurisdictional conflicts, in the same shape as conflicts of laws under private international law, seeking the closest link existing between a certain situation and legislation and judicature. The approach reflected rather a “cultural attitude” to establish a level of cooperation with other States “below that of public international law”. Indeed, jurisdictional conflicts in criminal matters are impossible to keep at a level not encroaching on the sensibility of States, even if they do not involve the scrutiny of the exercise of public functions. The idealistic attempts to address conflicts of criminal laws are, in any case, inspiring and provide an insight into an age by no way less complex than the contemporary world, in which a small group of talented individuals believed to track the path of the development of international law. The themes addressed by the “men of 1873” and vehemently discussed are frequently still up for discussion. The book delves into the history and working procedures of the Institut, analysing resolutions, proposals, and, more generally, themes raised by its members. In such a fashion, the “Theses” proposed by Swiss professor Charles Brocher built on a broad idea of an “extended territoriality” entailing legal fictions. The later 1883 Munich Resolution provided a challenging construct by Ludwig von Bar and Emilio Brusa, outlining a comprehensive system built on strict territoriality and the physical presence of the author of the offence. The 1889 Montevideo Convention reversed the model and shows the influence of the debate at the Institut while building a system based on the sole effects of the offence. The 1879 Report by Louis Renault on the protection of submarine cables envisaged an advanced mechanism combining shared jurisdiction to enforce the prohibition to break and damage cables with the flag State’s exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate. The pioneering initiatives of the Institut are motivating reading for those interested in the multifaceted aspects of jurisdictional issues.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jean Paul Pierini serves as an officer on active duty in the Italian Navy holding the position of deputy head of the Office for Legal Affairs at the General Staff.

Placing it in a broader historical and global context, Patrick O. Cohrs reinterprets the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as the original attempt to supersede the Eurocentric 'world order' of the age of imperialism and found a more legitimate peace system – a system that could not yet be global but had to be essentially transatlantic. Yet he also sheds new light on why, despite remarkable learning-processes, it proved impossible to forge a durable Atlantic peace after a First World War that became the long twentieth century's cathartic catastrophe. In a broader perspective this ground-breaking study shows what a decisive impact this epochal struggle has had not only for modern conceptions of peace, collective security and an integrative, rule-based international order but also for formative ideas of self-determination, liberal-democratic government and the West.</div><br /><b>Awards:</b><br /><br />Winner, 2023 PROSE World History Award, Association of American Publishers<div><br /></div><div>Check out the <a href="https://issforum.org/to/jrt15-19">International Security Studies Forum</a> for in-depth discussion of the award-winning book.<br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/new-atlantic-order/DFF9DCA7FB039596607DFE1CA8963FC0?pageNum=1&searchWithinIds=DFF9DCA7FB039596607DFE1CA8963FC0&productType=BOOK_PART&searchWithinIds=DFF9DCA7FB039596607DFE1CA8963FC0&productType=BOOK_PART&sort=mtdMetadata.bookPartMeta._mtdPositionSortable%3Aasc&pageSize=30&template=cambridge-core%2Fbook%2Fcontents%2Flistings&ignoreExclusions=true#fndtn-information">CUP</a> for more info.</div></div>Florenz Volkaerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505906805334346584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656514597154915882.post-12467365500243750612024-01-26T23:30:00.006+01:002024-01-26T23:30:00.145+01:00BOOK: Umut ÖZSU: "Completing Humanity The International Law of Decolonization, 1960–82" (CUP, 2023)<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://assets.cambridge.org/97811084/27692/cover/9781108427692.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="180" height="264" src="https://assets.cambridge.org/97811084/27692/cover/9781108427692.jpg" width="180" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: <a href="https://assets.cambridge.org/97811084/27692/cover/9781108427692.jpg">CUP</a></td></tr></tbody></table>After the Second World War, the dissolution of European empires and emergence of 'new states' in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and elsewhere necessitated large-scale structural changes in international legal order. In Completing Humanity, Umut Özsu recounts the history of the struggle to transform international law during the twentieth century's last major wave of decolonization. Commencing in 1960, with the General Assembly's landmark decolonization resolution, and concluding in 1982, with the close of the third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea and the onset of the Latin American debt crisis, the book examines the work of elite international lawyers from newly independent states alongside that of international law specialists from 'First World' and socialist states. A study in modifications to legal theory and doctrine over time, it documents and reassesses post-1945 decolonization from the standpoint of the 'Third World' and the jurists who elaborated and defended its interests.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li>Describes, explains, and critically analyzes changes to international legal theory and doctrine during the late twentieth century</li><li>Details efforts by international lawyers and others from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and beyond to restructure international law</li><li>Examines international legal debates about decolonization in conjunction with debates about development, political economy, and economic history</li></ul><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Visit <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/law/public-international-law/completing-humanity-international-law-decolonization-196082?format=HB&isbn=9781108427692">CUP</a> for more info.</div></div>Florenz Volkaerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505906805334346584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656514597154915882.post-54269834433550390882024-01-25T23:30:00.001+01:002024-01-25T23:30:00.134+01:00BOOK: Marcelo KOHEN & Iris VAN DER HEIJDEN (eds.), Liber Memorialis 1873-2023.

The network metaphor is frequently used to describe this entanglement. In recent decades, however, historians have begun to think about ways of formalizing this approach, appropriating the concepts and tools of graph theory to provide a new perspective on archives. The application of formal network analysis to history is now a highly fertile field of experimentation and research. It can be used to analyze the geographical logics of major circulation networks, to highlight brokers in affiliation networks, to compile family trees to reveal their points of contact, to study the occurrences and co-occurrences of concepts in serial texts, to show the evolution of personal social networks, etc. And through a great deal of empirical work, the specific features that historical disciplines bring to network science become apparent: particular attention to the modeling of data that is often incomplete and uncertain, the need to take account of temporality in all its finesse, the necessity to find a language that allows mathematical results to be interpreted in a qualitative narrative.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2009, following a workshop dedicated to the application of social network analysis to history, a small community of practice, <a href="http://www.historicalnetworkresearch.org/">the Historical Network Research community</a>, was created. It evolved into a series of workshops and then an international conference, of which the present edition is the 9th to date, after conferences in Hamburg, Ghent, Lisbon, Turku, Brno, Luxembourg and Mainz. 2013 saw the creation of the <a href="https://www.zotero.org/groups/209983/historical_network_research">HNR Collective Bibliography</a>, a central tool for sharing the community’s scientific output. In 2017, the first issue of <a href="https://jhnr.uni.lu/">JHNR, the Journal of Historical Network Research</a>, was published, allowing everyone to share their research in Open Access. Other resources include <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2QFG7uIVxkFQ3xZbohKl-Q">a YouTube channel</a> with recorded lectures and a newsletter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Conference focus: Visualization</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Network visualization is often the first thing to be seen, whether it’s an illegible but colorful node-link diagram, an elaborate sociogram, an austere matrix or a fancy flow map. Because of our discomfort with basing our interpretation on an object apparently built on somewhat subjective foundations, because they are very likely to be influenced by a graphic bias, we often relegate visualizations to a minor role in our exploratory approaches, preferring the cold (apparent) scientificity of graph metrics. But just because we see naive uses of network visualization doesn’t mean it can’t be a highly effective tool for understanding, exploring and communicating our research data. One of the ambitions of the conference is therefore to question our use of network visualization in history, a concern that will be reflected in particular in the workshops and keynotes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Note that the HNR conference is open to all subjects involving network analysis in historical disciplines, so the thematic emphasis of this 2024 edition has no impact on the selection of contributions. The only effect will be that an image will be requested for each paper (after the review phase, if not included in the submitted abstract) to create a gallery that will be displayed during the conference to spark discussion about our network visualization practices.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Topics</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For our 2024 conference, we welcome contributions discussing any historical period and geographical area.

Previous conferences in this series have dealt with, e.g., ‘Grotius’ Contribution to Commercial and Maritime Law’ and ‘Non-consequential theories of strict liability in historical perspective.’ The workshop is co-organized by the Paul Scholten Centre for Jurisprudence of the University of Amsterdam in cooperation with the Amsterdam Law Hub, with Grotiana, and with the ‘Servus-project’ funded by the NWO.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) is generally regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers of modern international law.’ However, he was also one of the early architects of Dutch colonial and imperial rule in the East Indies. Between 1604 and 1615, he served the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a legal advisor and political lobbyist. In this capacity, he wrote memoranda and policy documents providing legal and political justifications for the Company’s commercial and military activities in monsoon Asia. In 1604, Grotius was commissioned by the VOC to write a treatise to defend the seizure of a Portuguese vessel off the coast of Johor (present-day Singapore). In the only published chapter of the treatise during his lifetime, titled The Free Sea (Mare Liberum), he argued that the Portuguese violated the natural rights of the Dutch by preventing them from sailing to the East Indies and engaging in trade with indigenous populations. As judicial recourse was lacking, even a private trading company such as the VOC could wage a ‘just war’ to enforce its natural rights. Grotian thinking about natural law, contracts and just war thus legitimized Dutch expansion overseas and the dispossession of the native.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Grotius’ On the Law of War and Peace is another case in point. Although the author was an exile in Paris by then, he relied on many years of practical experience as a VOC advisor and lobbyist in writing his magnum opus. In On the Law of War and Peace, he elaborates the views presented in On the Law of Prize and Booty by conceptualizing the natural rights to travel and free passage, the rights to settle in uninhabited lands and use natural resources, and the right to free trade between ‘persons at a distance’, invoked by Europeans to demand access to non-European markets and territories. On the Law of War and Peace also provides a legal justification of slavery as part of natural law and the law of nations. In the author’s view, those who are defeated in a just war can be enslaved under the law of nations, while human beings may also ‘voluntarily’ submit to slavery under natural law. Moreover, the children of the enslaved inherit the unfree status of their parents according to On the Law of War and Peace.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The aim of this workshop is to explore the many connections between Grotius’ thinking about natural law and the law of nations and his full-throated defense of European expansion overseas and slavery. We invite contributors to critically examine these connections by addressing the imperialist and colonialist readings of Grotius’ theory of natural rights, just war, property,</p><p style="text-align: justify;">unequal treaties and alliances, monopoly contracts, slavery, and the role of private actors (e.g., trading companies). We specifically welcome contributions that engage with the following questions:</p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">· What were non-European responses to, or engagement with, such imperialist and colonialist readings? For instance, how did East-Indian rulers receive and interpret, or indeed resist, Grotian conceptualizations of natural rights and (monopoly) contracts? Were alternative conceptualizations proposed to contest Grotius’ justification of slavery?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">· What was the relationship between the ‘Grotian tradition of international law’ and colonial practices in the early modern and modern eras? How were Grotian discourses of international law used to justify colonial warfare, native dispossession and slavery in the Americas, Asia and Africa between the 17th and 20th centuries? For instance, how did Grotian ideas about natural law, freedom of trade and humanitarianism (protecting the oppressed from inhumane treatment) contribute to justifying colonial warfare, and what role did private trading companies play in these wars?</p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addressing questions like these, we seek to understand the ambivalent relation between, on the one hand, Grotius’ innovate contributions to international law and humanitarianism, and, on the other hand, the use of his concepts to justify (Western) colonialism and imperialism.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Conditions</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A paper proposal of max. 300 words should be sent to j.giltaij@uva.nl and m.dewilde@uva.nl. The deadline for submissions is January 15th, 2024. Applicants will be notified by February 26th, 2024 whether their paper proposal has been accepted or not. The organizing committee will use two criteria in the selection of paper proposals: intellectual quality and potential fit with the workshop theme. The workshop is meant to be interdisciplinary and small-scale, allowing plenty of time for discussion and interaction. Available slots are limited. However, the committee’s aim is to invite speakers from diverse backgrounds (age, geography, gender, and career status). The workshop takes place on location. Speakers who are unable to participate in person may do so online. Unfortunately, the organizing committee is not able to cover the costs of accommodation or travel. Selected speakers are requested to obtain funding themselves. Each speaker will be given a 30-minutes time slot, which includes 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Our aim is to publish (revised versions of) the presented papers in a leading international journal related to Grotius, the history of international law, or the history of colonialism.</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Organizing Committee</b></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Inge Van Hulle (Leuven University and Max Planck Institute, Frankfurt am Main)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Martine van Ittersum (University of Dundee)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jacob Giltaij (University of Amsterdam)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jeroen Vervliet (Max Planck Institute, Luxembourg)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Marc de Wilde (University of Amsterdam)</p>Florenz Volkaerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505906805334346584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656514597154915882.post-39752566255973513572023-11-06T17:00:00.001+01:002023-12-04T18:22:53.733+01:00BOOK: Florian WAGNER, "Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire, 1893–1982" (CUP, 2022)<div style="text-align: justify;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://assets.cambridge.org/97813165/12838/cover/9781316512838.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="180" height="264" src="https://assets.cambridge.org/97813165/12838/cover/9781316512838.jpg" width="180" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: <a href="https://assets.cambridge.org/97813165/12838/cover/9781316512838.jpg">CUP</a></td></tr></tbody></table><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Description:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 1893, a group of colonial officials from thirteen countries abandoned their imperial rivalry and established the International Colonial Institute (ICI), which became the world's most important colonial think tank of the twentieth century. Through the lens of the ICI, Florian Wagner argues that this international cooperation reshaped colonialism as a transimperial and governmental policy. The book demonstrates that the ICI's strategy of using indigenous institutions and customary laws to encourage colonial development served to maintain colonial rule even beyond the official end of empires. By selectively choosing loyalists among the colonized to participate in the ICI, it increased their autonomy while equally delegitimizing more radical claims for independence. The book presents a detailed study of the ICI's creation, the transcolonial activities of its prominent members, its interactions with the League of Nations and fascist governments, and its role in laying the groundwork for the structural and discursive dependence of the Global South after 1945.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Table of contents:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1 - “More Beautiful than the Nationalist Thought”?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 24-63</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Colonialist Fraternization and the Birth of Transnational Cooperation</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2 - A Transcolonial Governmentality Sui Generis</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 64-109</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Invention of Emulative Development</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3 - Politics of Comparison</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 110-148</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Dutch Model and the Reform of Colonial Training Schools</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4 - Cultivating the Myth of Transcolonial Progress</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 149-172</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ICI and the Global Career of Buitenzorg’s Agronomic Laboratory</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5 - The Adatization of Islamic Law and Muslim Codes of Development</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 173-208</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">6 - Creating an “Anti-Geneva Bloc” and the Question of Representivity</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 209-256</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">7 - Inventing Fascist Eurafrica at the Volta Congress</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 257-280</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">8 - False Authenticity</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 281-314</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Fokon’olona and the Cooperative World Commonwealth</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">9 - “That Has Been Our Program for Fifty Years”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 315-348</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sustained Development and Loyal Emancipation after 1945</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</div><div style="text-align: justify;">pp 349-356</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">More information with <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/colonial-internationalism-and-the-governmentality-of-empire-18931982/1AD1DE4ABFE1421457F254E0E8B1D46F#fndtn-contents">CUP</a>.</div><br />Florenz Volkaerthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00505906805334346584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656514597154915882.post-49002707986859441812023-10-03T17:00:00.002+02:002023-10-03T17:00:00.151+02:00BOOK: Jenny BENHAM, "International law in Europe, 700-1200" (Manchester University Press, 2023)<p style="text-align: justify;"><b><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.biblioimages.com/mup/getimage.aspx?class=books&assetversionid=361914&cat=default&size=largeweb&id=15948" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="302" height="500" src="https://www.biblioimages.com/mup/getimage.aspx?class=books&assetversionid=361914&cat=default&size=largeweb&id=15948" width="302" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Source: <a href="https://www.biblioimages.com/mup/getimage.aspx?class=books&assetversionid=361914&cat=default&size=largeweb&id=15948">MUP</a></td></tr></tbody></table></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Description:</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Was there international law in the Middle Ages? Using treaties as its main source, this book examines the extent to which such a system of rules was known and followed in the period 700 to 1200. It considers how consistently international legal rules were obeyed, whether there was a reliance on justification of action and whether the system had the capacity to resolve disputed questions of fact and law.

Pourtant, il paraissait important de porter un regard rétrospectif, notamment sur ces femmes et ces hommes qui ont écrit les grandes heures de l’Association de droit international (ADI), apportant une contribution intellectuelle, à maints égards décisive, au droit international. Dans un monde en crise, à nouveau polarisé, il est urgent de retracer l’histoire et les apports de l’ADI au droit international.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Le livre a été conçu en trois parties. La première partie présente l’état du monde en 1873 pour tenter de comprendre le contexte dans lequel les fondateurs de l’ADI ont conçu cette société savante. La deuxième partie présente l’organisation et les personnalités qui l’ont fait vivre. La troisième partie analyse l’influence des travaux de l’organisation sur le développement du droit international.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Table of Contents:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div>Page 1 à 4</div><div>Pages de début</div><div><br /></div><div>Page 4</div><div>Liste des contributeurs</div><div><br /></div><div>Page 5 à 7</div><div>Foreword</div><div>Christine Chinkin</div><div><br /></div><div>Page 9 à 12</div><div>Préface en quatre actes</div><div><br /></div><div>Franck Latty</div><div>Page 13 à 34</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Introduction</div><div>Olivier Descamps, Teodolinda Fabrizi, Catherine Kessedjian</div><div>Page 35 à 42</div><div><br /></div><div>The Position of the Director of Studies</div><div>Alfred H.

Haiti's "odious debt" started with the indemnification of slave-owners imposed by the French government in 1825 as a condition for acknowledging Haiti's sovereignty. This episode serves as a pivot, a prime illustration of the importance of sovereign debt, and a significant case study.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Inspiration</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Haiti's debt is particularly noteworthy due to its role in highlighting the intricate connections between money, debt, sovereignty, and international law. The mechanics of Haiti's so-called double debt -- on the one hand the reparations owed to former plantation owners for the loss of their property, and on the other hand, the financial debt which the state of Haiti owed to the investors who had subscribed to the bond issued to pay-off the indemnity -- summon crucial aspects of modern global capitalism.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While the original focus will be on Haiti's debt (to which we will keep returning), the Seminar intends to operate a broadening of the perspective, covering diverse historical experiences during the two centuries following the original settlement of Haiti's double debt. More broadly, the Seminar is meant to provide a venue for researchers interested in the international politics of debt, money and state-making. It will feature a combination of paper presentations (based on circulated drafts) and less frequently, round tables devoted for instance to the discussion of new books.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Seminar takes an interdisciplinary approach, aiming to bring together scholars from diverse academic backgrounds. In particular, it will invite historians, economists and legal scholars to debate their perspectives and engage in fruitful exchanges. It seeks in particular to foster discussions that encompass both case studies and comparative approaches and enable to put in historical perspective questions of debt sustainability, debt forgiveness, conditionality, political control, etc.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Organization</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Haiti Seminar is led by Marc Flandreau at the University of Pennsylvania in partnership with the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, and the School of Social Sciences and Government of the Tecnológico de Monterrey, Guadalajara. It is conceived to operate over a three-year period, commencing in 2023-24. The project will distribute a series of research grants. In particular, 10 Doctoral Prizes of 5,000 USD each will be awarded to registered PhD students located anywhere in the world and working on the history and economics of sovereign debt, a funding initiative supported by Crédit Mutuel, Paris. The Seminar takes place online on Thursdays at 12pm (Haiti Time)/ 6 pm (Paris Time).

19th centuries and led to the continent’s trajectory of underdevelopment in
the world system.
The book interrogates the economic and legal structures that supported
European intervention in Africa. It explores the trade and private property
rights which were to shape the economic future of the continent, most notably
the trade in human beings as legitimate private property by European powers.
The book then looks at the techniques used to submerge African sovereignty
under European sovereignty during the scramble for territorial control in the
19th century, concluding with the validation of occupation in international
law following the 1884–1885 Berlin Conference. The book argues that the
doctrines of trade and property rights sanctioned by international law led to a
trend of African dispossession that set the continent on a path to underdevelopment, with long-reaching consequences.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students across law, history,
economics, international relations, and African studies</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><b>Table of Contents:</b> <br />1 The Third World and Nature of World Order<br />2 From Latin America to Africa: Primitive Accumulation,

In search of New Actors and Vocabularies’</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(33, 33, 33); color: #212121;"> aims to investigate unofficial forms of normative peace-thinking in the long nineteenth century. In the period roughly between 1789 and 1914, political, legal, economic, and cultural developments made a radical and lasting impact on the possible representations of peace. Significant sections of European and American society came to define peace not simply as the mere ‘absence of war’, but as a <b>desirable, long-term condition in which disputes were consistently settled pacifically</b>. Changing patterns of communication and political agency increasingly enabled new actors from within civil society to contest these realities. Outside of the narrow circles olaat f government and high diplomacy, a plethora of new actors campaigned for a new kind of international law. Their ideal was ‘peace through law’. Our symposium investigates the <b>legal imagination of ordinary lawyers, philanthropists, economists, feminists, nationalists, and pacifists</b>. In his public opening lecture, professor Koskenniemi will engage with these questions.

But what is law’s power in global life? What does all this legality have to do with hegemony, with hierarchy and inequality, and with the diversity of human experience? What is its history and how does that history matter in world affairs? Above all, what does it mean to think “critically” about law and global affairs?

Of Law and the World takes the form of a conversation, as the authors reflect on the study of international law, the motivations underlying their research, and the payoffs and limitations of their investigations into law’s role in global affairs.

European empires amassed global power by asserting a right to use unilateral force at their discretion. <i>They Called It Peace</i> is a panoramic history of how these routines of violence remapped the contours of empire and reordered the world from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In an account spanning from Asia to the Americas, Lauren Benton shows how imperial violence redefined the very nature of war and peace. Instead of preparing lasting peace, fragile truces insured the easy return to war. Serial conflicts and armed interventions projected a de facto state of perpetual war across the globe. Benton describes how seemingly limited war sparked atrocities, from sudden massacres to long campaigns of dispossession and extermination.

This Oxford Handbook examines the past and present of the intersection between history and IR, and looks to the future by laying out new questions and directions for research.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Seeking to transcend well-worn disciplinary debates between historians and IR scholars, the Handbook asks authors from both fields to engage with the central themes of 'modernity' and 'granularity'. Modernity is one of the basic organising categories of speculation about continuity and discontinuity in the history of world politics, but one that is increasingly questioned for privileging one kind of experience and marginalizing others. The theme of granularity highlights the importance of how decisions about the scale and scope of historical research in IR shape what can be seen, and how one sees it. Together, these themes provide points of affinity across the wide range of topics and approaches presented here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Handbook is organized into four parts. The first, 'Readings', gives a state-of-the-art analysis of numerous aspects of the disciplinary encounter between historians and IR theorists. Thereafter, sections on 'Practices', 'Locales', and 'Moments' offer a wide variety of perspectives, from the longue durée to the ephemeral individual moment, and challenge many conventional ways of defining the contexts of historical enquiry about international relations. Contributors come from a range of academic backgrounds, and present a diverse array of methodological and philosophical ideas, as well as their various historical interests.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Oxford Handbooks of International Relations is a twelve-volume set of reference books offering authoritative and innovative engagements with the principal sub-fields of International Relations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The series as a whole is under the General Editorship of Christian Reus-Smit of the University of Queensland and Duncan Snidal of the University of Oxford, with each volume edited by specialists in the field. The series both surveys the broad terrain of International Relations scholarship and reshapes it, pushing each sub-field in challenging new directions. Following the example of Reus-Smit and Snidal's original Oxford Handbook of International Relations, each volume is organized around a strong central thematic by scholars drawn from different perspectives, reading its sub-field in an entirely new way, and pushing scholarship in challenging new directions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Table of Contents:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="expanding_content_container" style="background-color: white; padding-bottom: 20px; position: relative; text-align: start;"><div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Part I.

Pourtant, il paraissait important de porter un regard rétrospectif, notamment sur ces femmes et ces hommes qui ont écrit les grandes heures de l’Association de droit international (ADI), apportant une contribution intellectuelle, à maints égards décisive, au droit international. Dans un monde en crise, à nouveau polarisé, il est urgent de retracer l’histoire et les apports de l’ADI au droit international. Le livre a été conçu en trois parties. La première partie présente l’état du monde en 1873 pour tenter de comprendre le contexte dans lequel les fondateurs de l’ADI ont conçu cette société savante. La deuxième partie présente l’organisation et les personnalités qui l’ont fait vivre. La troisième partie analyse l’influence des travaux de l’organisation sur le développement du droit international. — Taking stock of 150 years of service to international law is probably an insurmountable challenge. Nevertheless, it seemed important to look backwards, notably on the women and men who made the highlights of the International Law Association (ILA), thus providing for an intellectual contribution, in many respects decisive, to international law. In a world in crisis, once more polarised, it is urgent to recount the history of the ILA and its valuable inputs to international law. The book was conceived in three parts. The first part presents the state of the world in 1873 in order to understand the context in which the Founders of the ILA conceived this learned society. The second part presents the organisation and the personalities that have brought it to life. The third part analyses the influence of the organisation’s work on the development of international law.</span></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the editors:</span></p><p style="background-color: white;"></p><blockquote style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Catherine Kessedjian est professeur émérite de l’Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas.

Bringing together leading international historians, this volume assesses the extent to which a new international order, combining old and new political forms, emerged from the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918. Taking account of new historiographical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study of peacemaking after the First World War, it views the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918 as a site of remarkable innovations in the practice of international politics. The contributors address how a wide range of actors set out new ways of thinking about international order, established innovative institutions, and revolutionised the conduct of international relations. They illustrate the ways in which these innovations were merged with existing practices, institutions, and concepts to shape the international order that emerged out of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919<span style="color: #595959; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">.</span></span></p></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Table of Content:</b></p><p>1 - Introduction pp 1-34</p><p>By Peter Jackson, William Mulligan, Glenda Sluga</p><p><b>Part I - Ordering Concepts pp 35-176</b></p><p>2 - Vocabularies of Self-Determination in 1919 pp 37-64</p><p>The Co-Constitution of Race and Gender in International Law</p><p>By Sarah C.

Sovereignty, International Law, and the Princely States of Colonial South Asia provides a compelling exploration of the history of sovereignty through an analysis of the jurisdictional politics involving a specific set of historical legal entities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Governed by local rulers, the princely states of colonial South Asia were subject to British paramountcy whilst remaining legally distinct from directly ruled British India. Their legal status and the extent of their rights remained the subject of feverish debates through the entirety of British colonial rule. This book traces the ways in which the language of sovereignty shaped the discourse surrounding the legal status of the princely states to illustrate how the doctrine of sovereignty came to structure political imagination in colonial South Asia and the framework of the modern Indian state.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Opening with a survey of the place of the princely states in the colonial structures of South Asia, Sovereignty, International Law, and the Princely States of Colonial South Asia goes on to illustrate how international lawyers, British politicians, colonial officials, rulers and bureaucrats of princely states, and anti-colonial nationalists in British India used definitions of sovereignty to construct political orders in line with their interests and aspirations. By invoking the vernacular of sovereignty in contrasting ways to support their differing visions of imperial and world order, these actors also attempted to reconfigure the boundaries among the spheres of the national, the imperial, and the international. Throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, debates and disputes over the princely states continually defined and redefined the concept of sovereignty and international legitimacy in South Asia.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Using rich material from the colonial archives, <i>Sovereignty, International Law, and the Princely States of Colonial South Asia</i> conveys an understanding of the history of sovereignty and the construction of the modern Indian nation-state that is still relevant today. A riveting read, this book will be of considerable interest and importance to scholars of international law and South Asia, legal historians, and political scientists.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Places the princely states of colonial South Asia at the heart of debates over the boundaries of international law</li><li>Examines debates over the legal status of the princely states to analyse the relationship between colonialism and international law in South Asia</li><li>Draws on extensive archival research to present legal arguments made by international lawyers, British politicians, colonial officials, rulers and bureaucrats of princely states, and anticolonial nationalists in British India</li><li>Explores the changing meaning of sovereignty in colonial South Asia</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Table of Contents:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1:Introduction</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2:Setting the Stage: The Legal Construction of British Paramountcy</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3:Jousting Over Jurisdiction: Sovereignty Debates in the Aftermath of the 1857 Rebellion</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4:The Controversy Over Divisible Sovereignty: The Princes and the Indian States Committee</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5:Political Negotiations: The Princes in the Federation Debates</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6:Building the Nation: The Princely States in the Age of Decolonization</div><div style="text-align: justify;">7:Epilogue</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Author Information:</b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Priyasha Saksena, Lecturer in Law, University of Leeds</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Priyasha Saksena is a lecturer at the School of Law, University of Leeds, UK.
