The first I would recommend is Anthony angi's imperialism sovereignty and the making of international law which retells the history of international law as well as the intellectual history of canonical European jurists by centering the colonial encounter as the structuring event that triggered the emergence of international law as we know it.
Why people recommend it
Imperialism, Sovereignty and the Making of International Law by Antony Anghie is an influential scholarly study that investigates how European colonial expansion shaped the foundational doctrines and institutions of global legal systems. On The Ezra Klein Show, Aai Shakir brought up Antony Anghie's book to recommend it to the audience for its history of international law and the colonial encounter. During the episode titled The Disastrous Relationship Between Israel, Palestinians and the U.N., which aired on May 17, 2024, Shakir identified this volume as the first recommendation they would offer to listeners seeking a deeper understanding of global governance. Shakir explained that the book successfully retells the history of international law alongside the intellectual history of canonical European jurists by specifically centering the colonial encounter as the structuring event that triggered the evolution of these legal frameworks. Anghie argues that international law was not developed in a neutral vacuum, but was instead forged through the dynamic of difference between European powers and non-European societies subjected to colonization. Shakir's recommendation provided historical context for listeners trying to comprehend the complex legal and political dynamics governing international institutions, state sovereignty, and global conflict in the modern era.
