What is neoliberalism? David Harvey provides a simple treatise on the ideology: the introduction of competitive market forces into historically non-market spheres.

Cotton and the Origins of Trans-Oceanic Trade | IEL Episode 3 - Part D 23:30

Cotton is a subtropical plant that grows just north of the Equator and across three continents: Africa, the Americas, and Asia. Despite European familiarity with cotton—thanks to Muslim and Asian traders—Europeans could not grow cotton. The cotton products they obtained were already manufactured, denying them the greatest added-value. At least this…

In the second part of the introductory episode, I describe the putative 'birth' of IEL.

Of particular interest in this part is the clash between Keynesianis…

Central to the study of international law is international economic law. Indeed, much of what emerged in IL was provoked by the economic rapprochement of European nations during the mercantile period but also the plunder of the Third World pursued by the First. Of course, international economic law was not devised solely to mediate economic relatio…

Linguistic intelligence is vital to the study of law. A key element of linguistic intelligence is the ability to devise and deploy persuasive arguments. Persuasiveness, however, is an altogether different standard to accuracy. Persuasiveness is primarily contingent on the argumentative skills of the advocate: poor skills will translate into a poor …

Who does international law apply to? The answer is not clear-cut.

But beyond the obvious, which other actors benefit from rights and are bound by responsibilities within the international legal framewo…

Is international law hopelessly Eurocentric, prejudicial, and violent?

And yet, much of the international law's barbaric history is glossed over in historical and orthodox studies of the in…

What to do with the Indians? Such was the question Columbus posed to Francisco de Vitoria, leading Spanish theologian and jurist of the 16th century.
