In recent years\, researchers have increasin gly turned to treaties and treaty-making in order to understand of how col onial domination was established and of how imperial expansion was linked to the development of international law. What has thus far been less frequ ently investigated\, however\, is how the treaties were perceived and nego tiated on the ground and how they were forged in inter-cultural encounters often characterised by competition and conflict as well as by accommodati on and compromise.\nBy focusing on the processes of treaty-making\, rather than treaties in themselves\, the panel seeks to provide a more detailed and nuanced of how imperialism was negotiated and established in various i nter-cultural contexts. In doing\, so it aims to highlight the role and ag ency of the men and women ’on the spot’\, including a variety of actors be yond the state level and of different national and cultural backgrounds.\n The panel explores treaty-making in comparative global historical perspect ive\, gathering  \;five papers dealing with treaties and treaty-making in different colonial or imperial contexts. Some of the questions asked a re: What role did treaty-making play in different asymmetrical contexts? H ow did treaty-making practices in the Americas\, Asia\, Africa and Oceania differ from the legal theoretical debates in Europe? How did the treaty-m aking practices change over time? What are the similarities and difference s in relation to different local political and cultural contexts and the p ractices of different colonial powers? How can the degree of inequality\, fraudulence\, manipulation be assessed in different treaty-making contexts ? How can how can the comparative study of treaty-making in global history nuance our take on current developments in international relations?\n&nbs p\; DTSTART:20230629T095300Z DTEND:20230701T095400Z GEO:00;0 LOCATION: ORGANIZER: SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:Negotiating Imperialism: Treaty-making in Global Comparative Perspe ctive TRANSP:OPAQUE URL:https://www.sea-treaties.org/index.php/events/3-negotiating-imperialism END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
