The Development of International Law
Author: Sir Geoffrey Gilbert Butler
Publisher: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.
ISBN: 1584772158
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 602
Book Description
"Believing that changes in International Law have been ultimately an expression of changes in the state system of the world and in the practice of the nations, we have tried, as it were, to cut into the procession of history at fixed points, to select some central theme at each stage, and to treat it in the light of history and law. In this attempt we arrived at a division of history from our point of view into three major periods which we have termed respectively those of the Prince, of the Judge, and of the Concert. In the first period, the scholar is still in the age of the dissolving Holy Roman Empire; in the second, commercial and dynastic wars - above all, the long-drawn-out struggle between France and England - dominate the scene; in the third and last, it is the voice of some force other than that of pure nationalism which, whatever the reason, reasserts itself. No division of this kind can be wholly satisfactory, but it is our belief that under one or another of these headings almost every issue which has interest for the historian of the Law of Nations can be conveniently treated." -- from the Preface by the author.

Islam as Imagined in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century English Literature
Author: Clinton Bennett
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000787842
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Since medieval times, English literature has often demonized Muslims. The term ‘Islamophobia’ is recent, but the phenomenon is old. This survey of literature focusing on the modern period up to 1914 identifies negative ideas about Islam in novels and plays. Some works are iconic, some more obscure. However, the book highlights writers who challenged stereotypes and tended to see Muslims as equally capable of virtue and vice as Christians and others. The book deals with the role of the imagination in depicting others and how this serves authors’ agendas. The conclusion brings the book’s thesis into dialogue with the debate in the USA today between supporters of multiculturalism and its critics. Anyone interested in how stereotypes are formed, perpetuated and can be challenged will profit from this book. It is aimed at a non-specialist readership.

The British Empire and the Armenian Genocide
Author: Michelle Tusan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786721236
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
An estimated one million Armenians were killed in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Against the backdrop of World War I, reports of massacre, atrocity, genocide and exile sparked the largest global humanitarian response up to that date. Britain and its empire - the most powerful internationalist institutional force at the time - played a key role in determining the global response to these events. This book considers the first attempt to intervene on behalf of the victims of the massacres and to prosecute those responsible for 'crimes against humanity' using newly uncovered archival material. It looks at those who attempted to stop the violence and to prosecute the Ottoman perpetrators of the atrocities. In the process it explores why the Armenian question emerged as one of the most popular humanitarian causes in British society, capturing the imagination of philanthropists, politicians and the press. For liberals, it was seen as the embodiment of the humanitarian ideals espoused by their former leader (and four-time Prime Minister), W.E. Gladstone. For conservatives, as articulated most clearly by Winston Churchill, it proved a test case for British imperial power. In looking at the British response to the events in Anatolia, Michelle Tusan provides a new perspective on the genocide and sheds light on one of the first ever international humanitarian campaigns.
