Abstract: Recent research has delivered substantially new insight into the diplomatic history of the partitions of Poland in the 18th Century. We are now able to thoroughly reconstruct the strategies by which the partitioning powers tried to justify their action, and to follow Western responses to that. The lecture will examine the respective diplomatic and public discourse in the light of contemporary concepts of international law.
