Partie 1: « Towards the Rule of Law » (pages 17 to 346)
Summary : The Center for Studies on International Law and Globalization (CÉDIM) and the Laboratory for Critical Research in Law (LRCD) invite you to a series of four (4) reading circles devoted to the latest work by Professor Martti Koskenniemi entitled To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth : Legal Imagination and International Power 1300–1870 was published most recently in Cambridge University Press in Great Britain. This monumental work explores the role (s) that the legal imagination played in the construction and transformation of the international order between the 14th and 19th centuries. This book will obviously be of interest to jurists and internationalists and more broadly to historians as well as specialists in political philosophy and international relations.
Professors, students and interested persons from all Quebec university institutions and beyond are, of course, welcome. Discussions will take place in French.
For the first meeting, part 1 entitled “Towards the Rule of Law” will be discussed. Each of these meetings will be led by a different facilitator and will be commented on by a few previously appointed people. A question and comment session open to all will follow.
