The Extraterritoriality of Law History, Theory, Politics

"This important collection is indispensable reading for any serious scholar investigating the extraterritorial application of law. Its multidisciplinary roster of authors embodies a wide range of fresh theoretical and political perspectives that bear on both historical issues and contemporary policy."

-- Teemu Ruskola, Jonas Robitscher Professor of Law, Emory University

"This rich and wide-ranging collection of essays invites us to think in new and radical ways about the relations between territory, sovereignty, jurisdiction, and power in law and history."

-- Anne Orford, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor and Michael D. Kirby Chair of International Law, University of Melbourne

"This is a truly remarkable and wide-ranging collection that explores historical and contemporary extraterritorial legality. The chapters examine the complex nature of the relationship between territorial authority and extraterritorial applications of law, both analytically and theoretically. The analyses provide rich accounts of the projection of state sovereignty abroad, as a modality of state-building, imperialist rivalry, human rights promotion, and the global expansion of capitalism, and are of great interest to scholars of law, politics, and history."

-- A. Claire Cutler, Professor of Political Science, University of Victoria
