Kathryn Greenman is Lecturer in Law at the University of Technology Sydney. She is a co-editor of Revolutions in International Law: The Legacies of 1917 (Cambridge University Press, 2021) with Anne Orford, Ntina Tzouvala and Anna Saunders.

'Greenman is a legal historian, not a sociologist, but her study is of acute interest to both legal scholars and the emerging body of political science scholarship on the social and professional variables that structure international law as a professional market. Greenman's study provides a welcome prequel to sociological accounts of the boom of international arbitration from the 1970s oil crises onwards and the subsequent predominance of the model of the Wall Street multinational corporate law firm as a vehicle of legal globalization.' Sara Dezalay, Rechtsgeschichte - Legal History

• 1. The past and present of state responsibility for rebels; 2. The system: mixed claims commissions in the shadow of empire; 3. The cases: autonomy, ambiguity and doctrine in the work of the commissions; 4. The scholarship: resistance and development; 5. The codification projects: stalemate; 6. The legacy: protecting investment against revolution in the decolonised world.
