When and how did the modern world become an international one? Jens Bartelson, a leading scholar of the history of international thought, provides new answers to this question by analyzing how relations between polities have been conceptualized across different historical contexts from the sixteenth century to the present day. A global intellectual history of the international system, this book challenges the widespread assumption that this system emerged as a result of a transition from empires to states, instead proposing that the international realm is but a continuation of imperial relations by other means. Showing how the international system spread through the creative appropriation of European concepts of nation and state by non-Europeans, Bartelson argues that this system has taken on a life of its own, to the point of becoming an empire in its own right.

After World War I, membership in the League of Nations represented an important step for the British Dominions on the road to foreign policy independence. The internationalism of the League of Nations was not a purely political phenomenon, but also had a social dimension. In particular, the Geneva based Secretariat of the League of Nations evolved into a hub of liberal internationalism. Benjamin Auberer examines these networks by investigating the careers of five employees of the League of Nations from Australia and New Zealand and thus contributes to a global history of the League of Nations and its bureaucracy.

"This book questions whether investment law influences the wider field of general international law, and more specifically, whether approaches adopted by tribunals in investment arbitrations have radiated, or should radiate, into other fields of international law."
Ein Ziel des internationalen Insolvenzrechts ist die weltweite Wirkungserstreckung, sog. Universalität, von Insolvenzverfahren. Danach sollen im Idealfall zum einen alle Gläubiger an einem Insolvenzverfahren beteiligt werden, ohne Rücksicht darauf, wo sie ansässig sind, und zum anderen alle Vermögenswerte des Schuldners einbezogen werden, unabhängig von ihrer geographischen Belegenheit im In- oder Ausland. Julia Harten untersucht rechtsvergleichend, wie sich der grenzüberschreitende Wirkungswunsch im deutschen, englischen, europäischen und U.S-amerikanischen Recht zeigt und inwiefern ein ausländischer Wirkungswunsch anerkannt wird. Dafür analysiert sie das Insolvenzrecht sowie die Regelungen zur internationalen Zuständigkeit, dem anwendbaren Recht und der Anerkennung und Vollstreckung.Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde mit dem Wissenschaftspreis Insolvenzrecht & Sanierung 2023 des Deutschen Anwaltvereins ausgezeichnet.InhaltsübersichtEinleitung Kapitel 1: Spannungsfeld im Internationalen Insolvenzrecht A.

International law is usually conservative, with lawyers and judges emphasizing consistency, stability and predictability as the major advantages of the law. Legal scholars often prefer not to challenge the status quo, to suggest amendments, or to reform institutions, advocating simply to focus on the implementation of the laws that already exist. This collection stands different. It shares the authors' discomfort with the present legal order and some of its institutions and courts, and dives into either a corrective or a profound reimagination of these, so that they can better address rising global challenges. Leading experts in their areas present their new and cutting-edge perspectives. Divided into six parts, the volume paints a vast yet solid thematic landscape of unique and critical approaches. The book invites and allows for a deep engagement with a wide range of opinions from across the world. It enables a free and courageous reimagining of the international legal order, detached from the endless feasibility skepticism. The work will be fascinating reading for students, academics and researchers working in the areas of International Law and International Relations.
