Brill is publishing the edited
collection ‘Politics and the Histories of International Law’
ABOUT THE BOOK
What are the implications of
writing the history of legal issues? Eighteen authors from different legal
systems and backgrounds offer different answers, by examining the history
writing on issues ranging from slavery over the use of force to
extraterritorial jurisdiction. Contributions show how historiography has often
distorted or neglected regional cultures and suggest alternative methods and
approaches to history writing. These studies are highly relevant for current
international relations in which the fight over master narratives is especially
fierce among governments, in different academic fields, and also between
governments and academics.
Contributors are: Jean d'Aspremont, Julia Bühner, Emiliano J.Buis, Maria Adele
Carrai, Jacob Katz Cogan, Ríán Derrig, Angelo Dube, Michel Erpelding, Etienne
Henry, Madeleine Herren, Randall Lesaffer, Anne-Charlotte Martineau, Parvathi
Menon, Momchil Milanov, Hirofumi Oguri, Gustavo Prieto, Hendrik Simon,
Sebastian Spitra, and Deborah Whitehall.
