This volume provides the first comprehensive analysis of international legal debates between 1955 and 1975 related to the formal decolonization process. It is during this era, couched between classic European imperialism and a new form of US-led Western hegemony, that fundamental legal debates took place over a new international legal order for a decolonised world. The book argues that this era presents in essence a battle, a battle that was fought out in particular over the premises and principles of international law by diplomats, lawyers, and scholars. In a moment of relative weakness of European powers, 'newly independent states' and international lawyers from the South fundamentally challenged traditional Western perceptions of international legal structures engaging in fundamental controversies over a new international law. The legal outcomes of this battle have shaped the world we live in today.Contributions from a global set of authors cover contemporary debates on concepts central to the time, such as self-determination, sources and concessions, non-intervention, wars of national liberation, multinational corporations, and the law of the sea. They also discuss influential institutions, such as the United Nations, International Court of Justice, and World Bank. The volume also incorporates contemporary regional approaches to international law in the 'decolonization era' and portraits of important scholars from the Global South.

Affectedness and Participation in International Institutions looks at the growing involvement of affected persons in global politics, such as young climate activists, indigenous movements, and persons affected by HIV/AIDS. Since the early 2000s, international organisations within various policy areas have increasingly recognised and involved affected persons’ organisations. This has promised to address long-standing legitimacy and democracy deficits of international policy making and norm setting. Yet, the powerful do not easily cede the terrain: Some major states, classic NGOs, and intergovernmental organisations seek to curtail the influence of the newcomers. The authors within this collection study these contestations from an interdisciplinary political science and international law perspective. Based on evidence from a broad range of policy areas, we address some of the crucial questions: What does it mean to be affected? How can affected groups meaningfully participate in international negotiations? Whose voices do still remain excluded? Ultimately, the authors chart whether the rising involvement of the 'most affected' will re-shape global politics and social struggles on the ground.Taking a dual political science and international law perspective, Affectedness and Participation in International Institutions will be of great interest to scholars of civil society in global governance, international law, and international institutions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Third World Thematics.

This analysis of Hans Kelsen's international law theory takes into account the context of the German international legal discourse in the first half of the twentieth century, including the reactions of Carl Schmitt and other Weimar opponents of Kelsen. The relationship between his Pure Theory of Law and his international law writings is examined, enabling the reader to understand how Kelsen tried to square his own liberal cosmopolitan project with his methodological convictions as laid out in his Pure Theory of Law. Finally, Jochen von Bernstorff discusses the limits and continuing relevance of Kelsenian formalism for international law under the term of 'reflexive formalism', and offers a reflection on Kelsen's theory of international law against the background of current debates over constitutionalisation, institutionalisation and fragmentation of international law. The book also includes biographical sketches of Hans Kelsen and his main students Alfred Verdross and Joseph L. Kunz.

(Post)Koloniale Rechtswissenschaft
Geschichte und Gegenwart des Kolonialismus in der deutschen Rechtswissenschaft
Häftad, Tyska, 2023

Tillfälligt slut
Der Band untersucht die Rolle der Rechtswissenschaft im deutschen Kolonialismus und koloniale Kontinuitäten im deutschen Recht. Dabei stehen drei Blickrichtungen im Mittelpunkt: erstens Recht und Rechtswissenschaft während der Zeit, in der das Deutsche Kaiserreich formal eine Kolonialmacht war, zweitens die Nachwirkungen des Kolonialismus nach 1919 und drittens die Relevanz kolonialer Dimensionen oder postkolonialer Theorieangebote in aktuellen rechtswissenschaftlichen Debatten. Der Band leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Disziplin in ihrer Breite. Zugleich adressiert er aus rechtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive heutige Kontroversen um Reparationen für koloniales Unrecht und neokoloniale Strukturen der politischen Ökonomie. Des Weiteren markiert er Anfänge einer reflexiven Rechtswissenschaft, die sich ihres Beitrags zu Kolonisation und kolonialer Kontinuitäten bewusst wird und damit die Voraussetzungen für ein post- und dekoloniales Recht schafft.
