History as politics. 520 $a As the future of international law has become a growing site of struggle within and between powerful states, debates over the history of international law have become increasingly heated. International Law and the Politics of History explores the ideological, political, and material stakes of apparently technical disputes over how the legal past should be studied and understood. Drawing on a deep knowledge of the history, theory, and practice of international law, Anne Orford argues that there can be no impartial accounts of international law's past and its relation to empire and capitalism. Rather than looking to history in a doomed attempt to find a new ground for formalist interpretations of what past legal texts really mean or what international regimes are really for, she urges lawyers and historians to embrace the creative role they play in making rather than finding the meaning of international law--back cover. 650 0 $a International law $x History. 650 0 $a International law $x Political aspects. 650 7 $a International law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976984 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108691765 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2E635BA477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
