BOOK: Wojciech DAJCZAK, Martin AVENARIUS, Christian BALDUS (eds.), Mitteleuropa und das römische Recht. Methodische Herausforderungen an die Romanistik im Kontext der neuen politischen Ordnung nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg [Ius Romanum; 11] (Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2025), 319 p., ISBN 978-3-16-163956-2

ABOUT THE BOOK:
 
Paul Koschakers 1947 publiziertes Buch Europa und das römische Recht löste Diskussionen und Kontroversen über die kulturelle Bedeutung des römischen Rechts für die europäische Rechtsidentität und den Verlauf der Ostgrenze Europas aus. Der vorliegende Band nimmt Bezug auf Koschakers Werk. Die Bedeutung des römischen Rechts für die Rechtsidentität Mitteleuropas nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg stellt sich hier und heute völlig anders dar als bei Koschaker und in der von ihm inspirierten Diskussion. Das Leitmotiv besteht in der Frage, ob und wie methodische Innovationen und Probleme der römisch-rechtlichen Forschung, die vor allem aus Italien und Deutschland bekannt sind, das Studium des römischen Rechts in den Ländern beeinflussten, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Mitteleuropa wiedergeboren oder gegründet wurden. Grundlage hierfür sind Rekonstruktionen methodischer Profile ausgewählter Romanisten aus der Region.

On the book:

Global War, Global Catastrophe presents a history of the First World War as an all-consuming industrial war that forcibly reshaped the international environment and, with it, impacted the futures of all the world's people. Narrated chronologically, the authors identify key themes and moments that radicalized the war's conduct and globalized its impact, affecting neutral and belligerent societies alike. These include Germany's invasion of Belgium and Britain's declaration of war in 1914, the expansion of economic warfare in 1915, anti-imperial resistance, the Russian revolutions of 1917 and the United States' entry into the war. Each chapter explains how individuals, communities, nation-states and empires experienced, considered and behaved in relationship to the conflict as it evolved into a total global war. Above all, the book argues that only by integrating the history of neutral and subject communities can we fully understand what made the First World War such a globally transformative event. This book offers an accessible and readable overview of the major trajectories of the global history of the conflict. It offers an innovative history of the First World War and an important alternative to existing belligerent-centric studies.

Abstract: 

The origins of World War I were different and varied. But it was Austria-Hungary which unleashed the war. After more than four years the Habsburg Monarchy was defeated and ended as a failed state. Die Ursachen des Ersten Weltkriegs sind vielfältig. Die Entfesselung des Kriegs geschah jedoch durch Österreich-Ungarn. Nach mehr als vier Jahren zerfiel die Habsburgermonarchie als Folge innerer Auflösung und der militärischen Niederlage.

Sovereignty at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919

ABOUT THE BOOK

We have known for many decades that the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 "failed", in the sense that it did not prevent the outbreak of World War II. This book investigates not whether the Paris Peace Conference succeeded or failed, but the historically specific international system it created. It explores the rules under which that system operated, and the kinds of states and empires that inhabited it. Deepening the dialogue between history and international relations theory makes it possible to think about sovereignty at the Paris Peace Conference in new ways. Sovereignty in 1919 was about not just determining of answers demarcating the international system, but also the questions. Sovereignty in 1919 was about remaking the world.
Most histories of the Paris Peace Conference stop with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles with Germany on 28 June 1919. Sovereignty at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 considers all five treaties produced by the conference as well as the Treaty of Lausanne with Turkey in 1923. It is organized not chronologically or geographically, but according to specific problems of sovereignty. A peace based on "justice" produced a criminalized Great Power in Germany, and a template problematically applied in the other treaties. The conference sought to unmix lands and peoples in the defeated multinational empires by drawing boundaries and defining ethnicities. The conference sought not so much to oppose revolution as to instrumentalize it in the new international system. The League of Nations, so often taken as the supreme symbol of the failure of the conference, is better considered as a continuation of the laboratory of sovereignty established in Paris.

(Source: OUP)

ABOUT THE BOOK

In 1918, the end of the First World War triggered the return of Alsace and Lorraine to France after almost fifty years of annexation into the German Empire. Enthusiastic crowds in Paris and Alsace celebrated the return of the 'lost provinces,' but return proved far more difficult than expected. Over the following two decades, politicians, administrators, industrialists, cultural elites, and others grappled with the question of how to make the region French again. Differences of opinion emerged, and reintegration rapidly descended into a multi-faceted struggle as voices at the Parisian centre, the Alsatian periphery, and outside France's borders offered their views on how to introduce French institutions and systems into its lost borderland. Throughout these discussions, the border itself shaped the process of reintegration, by generating contact and tensions between populations on the two sides of the boundary line, and by shaping expectations of what it meant to be French and Alsatian.
Borderland is the first comprehensive account of the return of Alsace to France which treats the border as a driver of change. It draws upon national, regional, and local archives to follow the difficult process of Alsace's reintegration into French society, culture, political and economic systems, and legislative and administrative institutions. It connects the microhistory of the region with the 'macro' levels of national policy, international relations, and transnational networks, and with the cross-border flows of ideas, goods, people, and cultural products that shaped daily life in Alsace as its population grappled with the meaning of return to France. In revealing the multiple voices who contributed to the region's reintegration, it underlines the ways in which regional populations and cross-border interactions have forged modern nations.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alison Carrol is Senior Lecturer in European History at Brunel University, London. She has published on questions of borders and integration in modern French history, and in 2010 she was awarded the Etienne Baluze prize in European local history. This is her first book.

BOOK: Mona L. SIEGEL, Peace on Our Terms: The Global Battle for Women’s Rights After the First World War (New York: Columbia University Press, 2020). ISBN 9780231195102, $35.00



Columbia University Press has published a new book on the struggle to advance women’s rights in the aftermath of World War I.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the watershed year of 1919, world leaders met in Paris, promising to build a new international order rooted in democracy and social justice. Female activists demanded that statesmen live up to their word. Excluded from the negotiating table, women met separately, crafted their own agendas, and captured global headlines with a message that was both straightforward and revolutionary: enduring peace depended as much on recognition of the fundamental humanity and equality of all people—regardless of sex, race, class, or creed—as on respect for the sovereignty of independent states.

Peace on Our Terms follows dozens of remarkable women from Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia as they crossed oceans and continents; commanded meeting halls in Paris, Zurich, and Washington; and marched in the streets of Cairo and Beijing. Mona L. Siegel’s sweeping global account of international organizing highlights how Egyptian and Chinese nationalists, Western and Japanese labor feminists, white Western suffragists, and African American civil rights advocates worked in tandem to advance women’s rights. Despite significant resistance, these pathbreaking women left their mark on emerging democratic constitutions and new institutions of global governance. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Peace on Our Terms is the first book to demonstrate the centrality of women’s activism to the Paris Peace Conference and the critical diplomatic events of 1919. Siegel tells the timely story of how female activists transformed women’s rights into a global rallying cry, laying a foundation for generations to come.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mona L. Siegel is professor of history at California State University, Sacramento. She is the author of The Moral Disarmament of France: Education, Pacifism, and Patriotism, 1914–1940 (2004).

CALL FOR PAPERS: Local Administration during the First and Second World Wars (Prague, 2-4 September 2020) (DEADLINE: 17 March 2020)


(Source: Pol-Int)

We learned of a call for papers for a conference in Prague on local administrations during the two world wars. Here the call:

Local administration has always played a key role in securing, implementing and stabilizing the authority of the modern state. After the outbreak of the First World War, the warring countries were confronted with a difficult supply situation, including famine, disease, refugees and labor shortages. The clerks of the local administration were responsible for implementing new policies and solving problems. They were the ones in direct contact with local populations which were often multi-ethnic and presented a broad variety of needs.

In many cases, local administrations were reorganized to deal with vast and unprecedented tasks and problems. In other cases, the German Empire and Austria-Hungary established military occupation administrations which depended on existing local administration, for example in Belgium, Serbia and Ukraine.

Not only military defeat but also the failure of overtaxed local administrations to solve substantial problems such as obtaining sufficient food supplies for the population led to revolts in the German Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy.

This drastic experience prompted Nazi Germany in particular to undertake a reorganization of local administration shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. Even after large parts of Europe were under German occupation, local administrations remained largely responsible for the daily life needs of local populations, such as organizing production, distribution and rationing of food and other basic goods, such as heating fuel and clothing. Since state food allotments were often insufficient to meet basic needs, local populations reacted with the development of a variety of illegal practices. Farmers evaded compulsory levies of food and sold undocumented, illegally butchered meat. Hidden stores of products, food and ration stamps were traded for other goods as part of a comprehensive black market. Although nominally supervised by German occupiers, the actual prosecution of these new economic crimes generally fell in the responsibility of local administrations and courts. Local courts continued to hear non-political cases and disputes within local populations as well.

Recent research in Holocaust Studies have showed that local administrations not only played an important role in making the mass murder of the European Jews possible, but that it was often local administrations that took the initiative.

This conference aims to bring together scholars who work on specific aspects of local administration in the First World War and the Second World War and analyze and compare a diversity of methodologies, findings and approaches.

We are particularly interested in papers that are dealing with the following historical focuses:

- The relationship between the occupying power and local administration.
- Local administration and the war economy
- Local courts under occupation
- Continuity and change in staffing aspects of local administration under occupation
- Questions of local administration and local interpretation of collaboration

Prof. Jonathan Gumz will give a keynote address on local administration and the First World War.

Prof. Dieter Pohl will give a keynote address on local administration and the Second World War.

At the moment we are able to cover accommodation and parts of the travel costs, we are still looking for funds for travel costs.

The conference language is English.

Biography Professor Lois Bibbings
Lois Bibbings is Professor of Law, Gender and History at the University of Bristol. Much of her research has centred upon the First World War in Britain, looking at hidden histories or lesser known stories of the conflict, and she has spoken and published extensively in this area. Thirty years ago she started researching conscientious objection to military service. Her work in this area has focused upon legal issues, gender and the nature of conscience. Her monograph on objectors, Telling Tales About Men: Conceptions of Conscientious Objectors to Military Service During the First World War (Manchester University Press, 2009) offered a completely original perspective by considering objectors, along with soldiers and male and female civilians, in terms of gender. In the lecture professor Lois Bibbings will look at groups and individuals who in various ways refused or resisted war during the First World War.

Book abstract:
An indispensable resource on the Treaty of Versailles, one of the most influential and controversial documents in history, this book explains how the treaty tried to solve the complex issues that emerged from the destruction of World War I. This carefully curated primary source collection includes roughly 60 documents related to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. By collecting all of the most significant documents in one volume, it allows readers to hear the original arguments surrounding the treaty and to explore the voices of the people involved at the Paris Peace Conference. Moreover, it allows readers to engage with the documents so as to better understand the complex motivations and issues coming out of World War I and highlights the differences between the victors and identifies the problems many countries had with the treaty before it was even signed. The documents are organized in chronological order, providing a blueprint to help students to understand all of the significant events that led to the treaty, as well as the vast repercussions of the treaty itself. In addition to the Treaty of Versailles itself, documents include such significant primary sources as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the Balfour Declaration, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and Germany's response to the treaty.

(image source: univ-droit)

Book presentation:
À l'occasion des commémorations nationales célébrant le centenaire de l'armistice du 11 novembre 1918, le Comité d'histoire de la Cour de cassation a souhaité étudier la période de la Grande Guerre à travers le fonctionnement, l'activité et la jurisprudence de la haute juridiction. Si les magistrats de la Cour de cassation ne furent pas mobilisés, il n'en fut pas de même pour les avocats aux conseils et les personnels de greffe ou de services, dont certains ne sont pas revenus du front. Désorganisée dans un premier temps et confrontée à une situation sans précédent, la Cour de cassation n'a pourtant jamais cessé de rendre des arrêts, aussi bien dans les matières civiles que pénales. Les contributions rassemblées dans ce volume font, pour la première fois, le point sur la jurisprudence de la Cour de cassation pendant et immédiatement après les années de guerre, commentant certaines des décisions les plus importantes de la période pour mieux les mettre en perspective avec la situation politique, militaire, économique et sociale de la France. Ainsi ce sont tour à tour les questions de la censure et de la liberté d'expression qui sont abordées, ainsi que le problème de la naturalisation ou encore le pouvoir de réquisition par la puissance publique. La jurisprudence de la Cour de cassation en matière de droit commercial et de droit des obligations fait l'objet d'une attention toute particulière. Enfin, le lien entre la justice ordinaire et la justice d'exception est abordé, en particulier le rôle de la cour de révision dans le cas des « fusillés pour l'exemple ».

BOOK: Olivier DEVAUX and Florent GARNIER, Le livre d’or de la faculté de droit de Toulouse (Paris: LGDJ, 2018). ISBN 978-2-36170-181-9, € 20.00


(Source: LGDJ)

LGDJ has published the University of Toulouse Faculty of Law’s livre d’or (on World War I)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Dès les premiers temps de la Grande Guerre, le nombre de morts au combat et de disparus est considérable. De multiples institutions entreprennent d'en dresser progressivement la liste et, à la fin du conflit, seront publiés des Livres d'or destinés à honorer, au même titre que les monuments aux morts, la mémoire de ceux qui se sont sacrifiés.

La Faculté de droit de Toulouse a participé à ce mouvement avec pour ambition première d'y faire figurer non seulement ceux de ses étudiants et anciens étudiants qui avaient perdu la vie, mais aussi leurs camarades survivants dès lors qu'ils avaient été blessés. La notice consacrée à chacun d'eux devait aussi être accompagnée d'une photographie. Mais son Livre d'or, qui n'existe qu'en un seul exemplaire, n'a jamais été publié.

Les auteurs, s'appuyant essentiellement sur des documents d'archives, en même temps qu'ils retracent la procédure d'élaboration de ce document et présentent des extraits de lettres de combattants ou de leurs parents, ont eu pour ambition de combler cette lacune en enrichissant les notices établies, il y a un siècle, par les autorités de la Faculté.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Olivier DEVAUX est Professeur d'Histoire du droit et des institutions à l'Université Toulouse Capitole, auteur de nombreux ouvrages et articles

Florent GARNIER est Professeur d'Histoire du droit et des institutions à l'Université Toulouse Capitole. Il mène des recherches dans les Institutions urbaines médiévales, la fiscalité au Moyen Âge (droits savants et pratique), la doctrine commerciale (XIXe-XXe s.), la norme et le droit du patrimoine culturel.

VIRTUAL EXHIBITION: Des facultés sur le front du droit: Paris et Toulouse dans la Grande Guerre (Paris: Bibliothèque Cujas, 2018)

(image source: Bibliothèque Cujas)

Exhibition abstract:
La réflexion sur la Première Guerre mondiale a emprunté diverses voies historiographiques. Ce conflit a été perçu depuis cent ans de manière militaire, diplomatique puis dans sa dimension sociale et culturelle. Il a été donné à voir, notamment par la restitution de nombreux témoignages, le quotidien des acteurs de la guerre, sur le front, dans les tranchées et à l’arrière. C’est à certains des acteurs, étudiants et professeurs de facultés de droit, que cette exposition virtuelle s’intéresse.
Traiter de l’histoire des facultés de droit de Paris et de Toulouse pendant le premier conflit mondial, c’est faire le choix de considérer ces institutions comme imbriquée dans un temps social, économique, intellectuel et politique mais également traiter d’histoires du droit diverses et complémentaires de ce premier quart du xxe siècle. Ce temps doit aussi être éclairé à la lumière des évolutions de la science du droit, notamment des réflexions intellectuelles liées à la guerre, d’une communauté particulière, celle d’enseignants parisiens et toulousains, tant comme un entre-soi que de juristes en réseaux et en relation en Europe.
« Capitale du droit » (Paris) et Faculté de province (Toulouse) prennent position sur le « front du droit ». C’est à saisir et comprendre la Grande Guerre à travers des juristes, leurs actions, leurs discours et leurs idées au sein des deux institutions considérées séparément ou comparativement que cette exposition virtuelle entend apporter quelques lumières nouvelles. Elle n’est pas à proprement dit une histoire des facultés de droit pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle n’est pas non plus une histoire sociale des étudiants et des enseignants. Par le prisme de certaines thématiques fortes, elle souhaite davantage interroger le quotidien d’acteurs qui forment ou qui ont été formés au sein d’une institution, les possibles tensions entre position scientifique et discours patriotique, la mobilisation dans la guerre du droit et l’engagement pour la construction de la paix, l’affirmation d’un discours par le vecteur d’une autorité décanale et l’expression rhétorique de conceptions du droit ou encore de la fabrique d’une mémoire institutionnelle.
Ce site est une exposition virtuelle. L’internaute y trouve, au centre de la page d’accueil, et dans les onglets du haut, un accès aux différents articles, réunis par thèmes. Sur la droite, une série de galeries : avec toujours un renvoi vers les textes précédemment évoqués, elles présentent les documents, iconographiques ou textuels, qui illustrent, complètent et fondent ces analyses. Un ordre, qui a semblé logique aux créateurs de l’exposition, est proposé. Libre à l’internaute de le suivre ou non.

(image source: openedition)

Book abstract:
For a long time now it has been common understanding that Africa played only a marginal role in the First World War. Its reduced theatre of operations appeared irrelevant to the strategic balance of the major powers. This volume is a contribution to the growing body of historical literature that explores the global and social history of the First World War. It questions the supposedly marginal role of Africa during the Great War with a special focus on Northeast Africa. In fact, between 1911 and 1924 a series of influential political and social upheavals took place in the vast expanse between Tripoli and Addis Ababa. The First World War was to profoundly change the local balance of power. This volume consists of fifteen chapters divided into three sections. The essays examine the social, political and operational course of the war and assess its consequences in a region straddling Africa and the Middle East. The relationship between local events and global processes is explored, together with the regional protagonists and their agency. Contrary to the myth still prevailing, the First World War did have both immediate and long-term effects on the region. This book highlights some of the significant aspects associated with it.

BOOK: William A. SCHABAS, The Trial of the Kaiser (Oxford University Press, 2018). ISBN 9780198833857, $34.95


(Source: OUP)

Oxford University Press is publishing a book on the failed attempts to bring Kaiser Wilhelm II to justice in the aftermath of World War I.

ABOUT THE BOOK

In the immediate aftermath of the armistice that ended the First World War, the Allied nations of Britain, France, and Italy agreed to put the fallen German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II on trial, in what would be the first ever international criminal tribunal. In Britain, Lloyd George campaigned for re-election on the slogan 'hang the Kaiser', but the Italians had only lukewarm support for a trial, and there was outright resistance from the United States. 

During the Peace Conference, international lawyers gathered for the first time to debate international criminal justice. They recommended trial of the Kaiser by an international tribunal for war crimes, and the Americans relented, agreeing to a trial for a 'supreme offence against international morality'. However, the Kaiser had fled to the Netherlands where he obtained asylum, and though the Allies threatened a range of measures if the former Emperor was not surrendered, the Dutch refused and the demands were dropped in March 1920.

This book, from renowned legal scholar William A. Schabas, sheds light on perhaps the most important international trial that never was. Schabas draws on numerous primary sources hitherto unexamined in published work, including transcripts which vividly illuminate this period of international law making. As such, he has written a book which constitutes a history of the very beginnings of international criminal justice, a history which has never before been fully told.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Conference - The Making of a World Order: A Reappraisal of the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles, The American University of Paris (DEADLINE: 15 October 2018)


(Source: Wikipedia)

Via Hsozkult, we learned of a call for papers for a conference on the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles. Here the call:

Upon the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and the Center for Critical Democracy Studies at The American University of Paris will hold two conferences in the Spring of 2019 in Paris and the Fall of 1919 in Cambridge, MA. Designed as a pair of facing conferences, the first will re-appraise the 1919 Paris Peace Conference from the vantage point of new historical evidence and recent scholarly focus on its global impact, while the second conference will look back upon 1919 from the perspective of their continuing contemporary relevance to both international relations and policy making. Both conferences will be deeply interdisciplinary, including featured speakers and panelists from history, international relations, public policy and diplomacy, in an effort to approach the Paris Peace Conference from multiple, international perspectives.

Call for Papers for the Paris 2019 Conference: May 23-25, 2019 (deadline for paper and panel submissions, October 15, 2018)

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the Paris conference will explore the Treaty, and the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 more broadly, from the perspective of a new world order it simultaneously did and did not make. In 1994, on the 75th Anniversary of the Versailles Treaty, leading scholars of European and international history gathered to reassess the Treaty of Versailles and its impact on the trajectory of twentieth-century history. The result was a path-breaking volume that both re-assessed the divergent aims of the different Great Powers at the Paris Peace Conference, as well as how the negotiations themselves laid the foundation for its own collapse twenty years later. But the volume remained largely Eurocentric—the rest of the world emerged in the volume as bit players on a European stage. In the past two decades, historians of modern Europe have pushed our understanding of the long nineteenth century toward new borders, asking novel questions and forcing us to recognize the power of movements, processes, trends, and influences on a planetary scale. Indeed, it was this “transformation of the modern world” (Osterhammel) during the global nineteenth-century that ran headlong into the cataclysmic events of the first “World” War. From 1914-1918, the world slipped into a massive military conflict on an unprecedented scale. In the immediate aftermath of the war, the task at hand was little less than constructing a new world order.

Building on the growing interest in World War I as a global conflict that extended far beyond the borders of Europe, the Paris 2019 conference will explore the global political ramifications of the treaties prepared at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. It is hard to overstate the importance of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference for redefining the place of the United States in the world, re-shaping the geo-political configurations of the Middle East, Asia and Europe, the new place of the South Pacific, the need to re-conceive of world relations with a new Soviet Russia, the massive impact on European colonies in Africa, the place of Latin America, and the construction of the League of Nations. Far from a mere cessation of hostilities, the peace treaties signed in 1919 and 1920 marked a massive transformation on local, national, continental and global scales.

Four renowned experts of the First World War have agreed to present keynote addresses at the conference: Margaret MacMillan (Oxford University), Priya Satia (Stanford University), Tze-ki Hon (City University of Hong Kong), and Adam Tooze (Columbia University).

Besides the four plenary speakers, the Paris 2019 Conference will invite panelists in multiple disciplines relating to all aspects of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Alongside historians, the conference seeks to include other perspectives from the social sciences and humanities, including, but not limited to, historical sociology, political anthropology, political science, economics, and literature. Since the conference focuses particularly on the global effects of 1919, the organizers encourage the participation of scholars whose area of focus is outside Europe. To this end, there will be some funding available for early-career scholars and those traveling long distances.

The Paris conference organizers will proceed immediately to a broad call for papers, and a simultaneous invitation to specialists in the field to participate. Possible Panel Themes may include:

- Migration and Minority Rights and the Paris Peace Conference
- The Paris Peace Conference and New International Intellectual Networks
- The Creation of New Regional and Inter-Regional Politics
- The Paris Peace Conference and the Rise of New International Organizations
- Sovereignty, Self-Determination, and De-Colonization
- The “New Woman” and the Paris Peace Conference
- The Paris Peace Conference, International Socialism, and the Specter of Communism

The intention of the organizers of the conference, in alignment with the mission of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies, is to weave the conference preparation and presentation into course work at the American University of Paris, making the Treaty the subject of its annual freshman seminar, Democracy Lab, and summer Democracy Institute. In addition, the Center publishes the Tocqueville Review, which will devote a special two-volume issue to the best papers of the conference.

The Paris Conference will take place on May 23-25, 2019.

Please submit paper or full-panel proposals (300 words) and a brief (2-page) cv to parispeace1919@aup.edu by October 15, 2018.

Summary of key dates:
October 15, 2018 Deadline for paper proposals
November, 2018 Final decisions on paper and panel proposals
January, 2018 Preliminary Program released
March, 2018 Final Program released
May 23-25, 2018 Conference

CONFERENCE: Der Vertrag von Saint Germain 1919 im Kontext der europäischen Nachkriegsordnung (27-29 September 2018, Vienna)


(Source: ÖAW)

We learned of a conference on the 1919 Treaty of Saint-Germain between the Allies of World War I on the one hand and by the Republic of German-Austria on the other.

ÖAW und Universität Wien laden ein, die rechtlichen Grundlagen der europäischen Nachkriegsordnung nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg sowie deren Konsequenzen für die politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Entwicklung Europas aus einer globalen Perspektive zu diskutieren.
Der für die Republik Österreich so bedeutende Vertrag von Saint Germain aus dem Jahr 1919 ist im internationalen Kontext nach wie vor Gegenstand globaler Forschungsinitiativen.

Eine Konferenz unter österreichischer Federführung zum Thema „Der Vertrag von Saint Germain 1919 im Kontext der europäischen Nachkriegsordnung“ will diese Initiativen vernetzen. Das Institut für Neuzeit- und Zeitgeschichtsforschung der ÖAW, die Kommission für Rechtsgeschichte Österreichs der ÖAW sowie die Forschungsstelle für Rechtsquellenerschließung der Universität Wien laden ein, das Entstehen und Wirken des Vertrags im Kontext der Neuordnung der Welt nach 1918 gemeinsam zu analysieren. Neben den zentralen politischen Themen sollen auch bislang wenig beachtete wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Aspekte, die dieser Vertrag ebenso beeinflusst hat, zur Sprache kommen. Die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung strebt eine Neubewertung von St. Germain an, welche  Ressentiments und nationalistische Vorurteile der Nachkriegszeit überwindet.

CONFERENCE: Sur le front du droit (Toulouse, 16 October 2018)


(Source: CTHDIP)

Via Hi-D, we learned of a conference series on European and American lawyers during World War I.

Le Centre Toulousain d’Histoire du Droit et des Idées Politiques (E.A 789) organise un cycle de conférences sur les juristes européens et américains dans la Grande Guerre.

Ce cycle de conférences est organisé en collaboration avec le Collège supérieur du Droit et l’École européenne de droit.

Les conférences sont destinées aux étudiants et au grand public. Elles ont pour objectif commun de questionner la place des juristes et du droit au cours de la période 1914-1918 et dans l’après-guerre. Comment le droit est appliqué au cours de cette période ? Comment ces circonstances sont prises en considération par le juge et la doctrine ? En quoi la guerre influe-t-elle sur la formation et le développement de domaine(s) juridique(s) ?

Book abstract:
This study presents the Paris Peace Treaties of 1919-20 in a new light. Going beyond conventional narratives about the "dictated" peace of Versailles and the failures of the peacemakers, the book offers a fresh and comprehensive look at the five peace treaties with Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. Marcus Payk exhibits the influence of late 19th century normative expectations and demonstrates how the entire peace settlement was deeply imbued by notions of international law, justice, and legality. The study examines the political power as well as intrinsic logic of legal arguments in foreign affairs, arguing for a more nuanced picture of a juridification of international politics.
