IILJ History & Theory of International Law
A Reading Workshop for this Time
In contemporary circumstances, notable historic texts relating to international law and legal ordering are being re-read anew, drawing new readers and prompting fresh reflections on the debates surrounding them. In this particular session scholars of law, history, and legal theory have proposed a selection of such texts written by German-language authors in Europe from the 1910s-40s. They have each suggested a reading (in English) which they will introduce, contextualize, and discuss critically with participants.
