Questions of legal extraterritoriality figure prominently in
scholarship on legal pluralism, transnational legal studies,
international investment law, international human rights law, state
responsibility under international law, and a large number of other
areas. Yet many accounts of extraterritoriality make little effort
to grapple with its thorny conceptual history, shifting theoretical
valence, and complex political roots and ramifications. This book
brings together thirteen scholars of law, history, and politics in
order to reconsider the history, theory, and contemporary relevance
of legal extraterritoriality. Situating questions of
extraterritoriality in a set of broader investigations into
state-building, imperialist rivalry, capitalist expansion, and
human rights protection, it tracks the multiple meanings and
functions of a distinct and far-reaching mode of legal authority.
The fundamental aim of the volume is to examine the different
geographical contexts in which extraterritorial regimes have
developed, the political and economic pressures in response to
which such regimes have grown, the highly uneven distributions of
extraterritorial privilege that have resulted from these processes,
and the complex theoretical quandaries to which this type of
privilege has given rise. The book will be of considerable interest
to scholars in law, history, political science, socio-legal
studies, international relations, and legal geography.
