Recenzii
'In this extensive study, Anne Orford brilliantly traces international law's engagements with history across a century and more, weaving abstruse methodological disputes into an arresting narrative of political possibility foregone. What is history for? And how should it be practiced by those who manage the world's legal affairs? Anne Orford makes the case for doing things with history, for history as a political practice which can as well be apologetic as transformative. For Orford, international legal history is contested ground, an open field of political possibility and struggle. Everyone is here - the footnotes alone are worth the price! Her plea for an engaged and politically responsible history attuned to the ambiguities of the historical record is an invigorating challenge to everyone who dabbles - or dives deep - into the history of international law.' David W. Kennedy, Manley O Hudson Professor of Law and Director, Institute for Global Law and Policy, Harvard Law School
'This is a hugely important intervention in cross-disciplinary debates about the politics of history in international law and international relations. Anne Orford has written a brilliant defence of heterodox approaches to international legal history against both narrowly empiricist and contextualist approaches and recent 'new' histories of international law that are not as new or methodologically robust as they seem. International Law and the Politics of History should have a major influence on scholars and students across International Law, History, and International Relations.' Patricia Owens, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford
'Over the past two decades, Anne Orford has been one of the most incisive, wide-ranging and illuminating writers on international law. In her latest work, she analyses with her usual authority and clarity the debates that have surrounded the writing of histories of international law and the stakes involved. She argues compellingly that crucial questions about the character and future of international law are implicated in and shaped by these debates. Her deft analysis reveals that any writing of history involves making normative and political choices. Unique in the growing literature on the history of international law, this is a landmark work.' Antony Anghie, Professor of Law, National University of Singapore and University of Utah
'The recent 'turn to history' in the study of international law began with high hopes of rapprochement between disciplines yet has too often served to draw battle lines and multiply misunderstandings. Anne Orford now stands authoritatively above the fray, to clarify the stakes of critical practice for lawyers and historians alike. Her patient, engaged scrutiny of the politics of scholarship may not quieten contention but it should make future engagements both more productive and much more firmly grounded.' David Armitage, Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History, Harvard University
'International Law and the Politics of History is a powerful rejoinder to the critical excesses to which scholarship in international law has been made subject in recent years by historians claiming law's habitual misrepresentation of its past. Anne Orford knows her own field far better than the complainants, and it shows. Historians would do well to understand better what they poke before they decide to poke it.' Christopher Tomlins, Elizabeth Josselyn Boalt Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley
'… it will undoubtedly become a must-read for those who want to dive into the history of international law …' Rémi Fuhrmann, Nordic Journal of International Law
