Please join us for the launch of Rival Legalities: International Laws of the Cold War by Professors Matthew Craven, Sundhya Pahuja and Gerry Simpson. At the launch, Sundhya Pahuja and Gerry Simpson will join journalist and event moderator Nicole Abadee for a conversation.
Rival Legalities offers a wholly new way of thinking about the ideas, struggles and practices that constituted the 'historical' Cold War. In particular, it seeks to redescribe and defamiliarise what we might think of as Cold War international law in order to bring out a rich but now obscured plurality of law and legal forms during the period and to make visible the ways in which we live and work in the aftermath of this legal order. This book challenges the dominant myths about the history of the Cold War, arguing that far from being defined only by ideological rivalry, the US and the Soviet Union were engaged in a conjoint project of world ordering.
