Beskrivning
This book offers a wholly new way of thinking about the ideas, struggles and practices that constituted the 'historical' Cold War. In particular, it seeks to redescribe and defamiliarise what we might think of as Cold War international law in order to bring out a rich but now obscured plurality of law and legal forms during the period and to make visible the ways in which we live and work in the aftermath of this legal order. This book challenges the dominant myths about the history of the Cold War, arguing that far from being defined only by ideologically rivalry, the US and the Soviet Union were engaged in a conjoint project of world ordering.

Recensioner i media

'Rival Legalities fundamentally re-orients received understandings of the cold war through a nuanced and illuminating account of the relationship between the history of law and the history of international relations. It brilliantly reinterprets how the encounter between competing legal worlds co-created a pluriverse of empire and resistance, risk and possibility.' Vasuki Nesiah, New York University
