Summary: The Center for International Law and Global Studies (CEDIM) and the Laboratory for Critical Research in Law (LRCD) invite you to a series of four (4) reading circles dedicated to Professor Martti Koskenniemi's latest book entitled To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth: Legal Imagination and International Power 1300–1870 very recently published by Cambridge University Press in Britain. This monumental work explores the role(s) played by the legal imagination in the construction and transformation of the international order between the 14th and 19th centuries. This book will obviously be of interest to jurists and internationalists and more broadly to historians as well as specialists in political philosophy and international relations. Professors, students and interested persons from all university institutions in Quebec and beyond are, of course, welcome. The discussions will take place in French. For the first meeting, part 2 entitled "France: Law, sovereignty and revolution" will be discussed. Each of the meetings will be led by a different facilitator and will be commented on by a few previously assigned people. A question and comment session open to all will follow.
