Recentering the World recovers a richly contextual, detailed
history of Western-imposed legal structures in China, as well as
engagements with international law by Chinese officials, jurists,
and citizens. Beginning in the Late Qing era, it shows how
international law functioned as a channel for power relations,
techniques of economic domination, as well as novel forms of
resistance. The book also radically diversifies traditionally
Eurocentric accounts of modern international law's origins,
demonstrating how, by the mid-twentieth century, Chinese jurists
had made major contributions to international organizations and the
UN system, the international judiciary, the laws of armed conflict,
and more. Drawing on extensive archival research, this book is a
valuable guide to China's often conflicted role in international
law, its reception and contention of concepts of sovereignty,
property, obligation, and autonomy, and its gradual move from the
'periphery' to a shared spot at the 'center' of global legal order.
