The history and theory of international law have been transformed
in recent years by post-colonial and post-imperial critiques of the
universalistic claims of Western international law. The origins of
those critiques lie in the often overlooked work of the remarkable
Polish-British lawyer-historian C. H. Alexandrowicz (1902-75). This
volume collects Alexandrowicz's shorter historical writings, on
subjects from the law of nations in pre-colonial India to the New
International Economic Order of the 1970s, and presents them as a
challenging portrait of early modern and modern world history seen
through the lens of the law of nations. The book includes the first
complete bibliography of Alexandrowicz's writings and the first
biographical and critical introduction to his life and works. It
reveals the formative influence of his Polish roots and early work
on canon law for his later scholarship undertaken in Madras
(1951-61) and Sydney (1961-67) and the development of his thought
regarding sovereignty, statehood, self-determination, and legal
personality, among many other topics still of urgent interest to
international lawyers, political theorists, and global historians.
