CALL FOR PAPERS: Extraterritoriality and the Law [International Days of the Society for Legal and Institutional History of Flanders, Picardy and Wallonia] (Tilburg: Tilburg Law School, 30-31 MAY 2025) [DEADLINE 20 APR 2025]

 International Days of the Society for Legal and Institutional History of Flanders, Picardy and Wallonia

Tilburg (The Netherlands), 30-31 May 2025

The Society for Legal and Institutional History of Flanders, Picardy and Wallonia holds its annual "International days" 2022 on 30 and 31 May 2025 in Tilburg (in The Netherlands)

 

The theme of the conference is: « l’Extraterritorialite et le Droit » (“Extraterritoriality and Law”)

 

The law as it stands, both public and private, has strong ties to a territory. For example, territory is fundamental in the constitutional order of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. In private law, this attachment to land is equally present. Conflicts in property law are judged by the lex situs. The constitutio Antoniniana (D.1.5.17) did the same for Roman citizenship. National law, comparative law and legal history are based and strongly focused on that national, territorial order, as well in Picardy, Wallonia, in Flanders, as anywhere.

 

Territorial validity contrasts sharply with the (also normative) dynamics of persons and their transactions across borders, and it contrasts sharply with an ideal of universal law. This congress focuses on all forms of extraterritoriality of law, and its possible explanations. It provides an opportunity to address topics such as the genesis and legitimacy of universally applicable law (natural law, ius commune, human rights), genesis and legitimacy of territorially applicable law (local or national norms, customary law), the adoption or non-adoption of concepts, norms, systems or arguments from elsewhere, in occasional or institutionalized collaborations. Colonial relations are also of great importance in the latter context and deserve attention.

 

This general theme does not exclude papers about other subjects regarding legal history or institutional history.

 

Presentations can be held in French, English or Dutch. Speakers have to send a summary to the organization (preferably in French and/or English).

 

Proposals can be sent before 20 April 2025 to J.M. MILO and E.G.D. van Dongen, j.m.milo@uu.nl; E.G.D.vanDongen@uu.nl

BOOK: Daniel S. MARGOLIES et al., eds., The Extraterritoriality of Law : History, Theory, Politics (London: Routledge, 2019). ISBN 9780815378587, £92.00

(Source: Routledge)

Routledge is publishing a new book dealing i.a. with the history of legal extraterritoriality.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Questions of legal extraterritoriality figure prominently in scholarship on legal pluralism, transnational legal studies, international investment law, international human rights law, state responsibility under international law, and a large number of other areas. Yet many accounts of extraterritoriality make little effort to grapple with its thorny conceptual history, shifting theoretical valence, and complex political roots and ramifications.　

This book brings together thirteen scholars of law, history, and politics in order to reconsider the history, theory, and contemporary relevance of legal extraterritoriality. Situating questions of extraterritoriality in a set of broader investigations into state-building, imperialist rivalry, capitalist expansion, and human rights protection, it tracks the multiple meanings and functions of a distinct and far-reaching mode of legal authority. The fundamental aim of the volume is to examine the different geographical contexts in which extraterritorial regimes have developed, the political and economic pressures in response to which such regimes have grown, the highly uneven distributions of extraterritorial privilege that have resulted from these processes, and the complex theoretical quandaries to which this type of privilege has given rise.

The book will be of considerable interest to scholars in law, history, political science, socio-legal studies, international relations, and legal geography.

BOOK: Douglas CLARK, Justice by Gunboat : Warlords and Lawlords: The Making of Modern China and Japan (Hong Kong: Earnshaw Books, 2018). ISBN 9789888422746, € 23,06.

(Source: Amazon.co.uk)

Earnshaw Books has published a book on 19^th century gunboat diplomacy and extraterritoriality in China, Japan and Korea.

ABOUT THE BOOK

War, riots, rebellion, sedition, corruption, assassinations, murder, infidelity, and even a failed hanging were just some of the many challenges faced by the British and American courts that operated in China, Japan, and Korea for close to 100 years. Established in the mid-19th Century under treaties signed when foreign gunboats forced all three countries to open to the outside world, the foreign courts had the sole right to try their own nationals to the exclusion of local courts. This book unveils the history of this system of extraterritoriality. Based on original research through archives and hundreds of trial transcripts, Justice by Gunboat tells not only the story of the courts and how China and Japan reacted to them but also of the fascinating lives of the judges, lawyers and parties before the courts.
