Call for Papers: Latin America and International Law
A call for papers has been issued for a conference on “Latin American and International Law,” to take place February 8-9, 2018, at the Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy Graduate School of Law, University of Hamburg. Here’s the call:
Latin America and International Law
From February 8 to 9, 2018, the Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy Graduate School of Law (University of Hamburg) in conjunction with Professor José Manuel Barreto Soler (Universidad de los Andes, Universidad Externado) organizes a conference on the history of international law in Latin American. The conference title is roughly borrowed from Alejandro Álvarez’ very influential (but also controversially discussed) article “Latin America and Inernational Law” from 1909. Insprired by his work, we aim at exploring the complex relationship between Latin America and international law in the past centuries.
In the last few years, questions concerning Latin America’s historic relationship to international law have moved to the focus of academic attention. Several outstanding treatises have been published on and conferences have dealt with this topic. But its study is still a comparably recent academic field (especially in Europe). The conference shall contribute to its further sharpening and to the creation of new perspectives on the study of the history of international law in Latin America.
We therefore invite early as well as established academics working in the field of the history of international law in Latin America to participate in this event and to present and to discuss new ideas in this framework. We look forward to your proposals and to welcome you in Hamburg next year.We would like to invite everybody interested in the study of the history of international law in Latin America to participate in our call and to submit proposals for contributions on any of the listed subtopics (see below).
Please send your application in one single PDF file including
- your proposal of around 300 – 500 words and
- a brief CV (indicating also your institutional affiliation)
until December 3, 2017, to matthias.packeiser”AT”uni-hamburg.de
The selection of speakers will be based on the quality of their abstracts and the abstract’s suitability to the overall topic of the conference.
Selected candidates will be informed by December 8, 2017.
At the conference, each speaker will be granted 20 mins for his/her presentation. Each presentation will be followed by 10 min-discussions.
