Mestizo International Law
«'… the book offers a wealth of knowledge, and a deep critique and reframing of our understanding of the system of international law, a perspective that should interest most of us involved in theorizing the international system.' Pierre-Alexandre Cardinal, Revue québécoise de droit international»
The development of international law is conventionally understood as a history in which the main characters (states and international lawyers) and events (wars and peace conferences) are European. Arnulf Becker Lorca demonstrates how non-Western states and lawyers appropriated nineteenth-century classical thinking in order to defend new and better rules governing non-Western states' international relations.

«'A global history of international law on a grand scale.' Jus Gentium: Journal of International Legal History»
«'… the book succeeds in its goal of unveiling an underdeveloped narrative in the history of international law. Lorca's core/periphery framework remains salient today, as Western countries continue to justifiably or unjustifiably intervene in peripheral states.' Richard Harris, Shixue Hu and Mattie Wheeler, The Yale Journal of International Law»
