{"product_id":"international-law-and-the-politics-anne-orford-9781108480949","title":"International Law and the Politics of History","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Orford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108480942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108480949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Anne Orford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987710738687,"sku":"9781108480949","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35cdd2a1-1a82-459b-9b56-445c51a5fe59.jpg?v=1683290551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-law-and-the-politics-anne-orford-9781108480949","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
