Call for Papers 2020
WAR AND PEACE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
The Board of the Italian Review of Legal History invites all scholars to contribute to the debate on the above topic, in a historical perspective or with regard to current events. War is the most organized and structured form of violence; throughout the centuries, it has challenged the law, that in turn has attempted to provide it with a legal framework, by principles, institutions, institutes, practices, thus aiming explicitly or implicitly at switching from “silent leges inter arma” to “cedant arma togae”.
There are various perspectives through which we can watch the topic: apart from military history and history of diplomacy and of international relations, the unfailing presence of the wars and the means to prevent or resolve them affect any field of historiography.
The tension between war and peace, concerning both public and private subjects (for example: family infighting and interpersonal conflicts or private wars and peace agreements in the communal and early modern European history) from the Middle Ages to modern period, poses many questions to jurists and historians, both at European and global level.
Even though the wideness of the topic has stimulated the attention of historiography, it still needs to be studied from new perspectives and by different lines of research, thus offering original findings.
Submission deadline: September 30, 2020.
At the choice of the author, papers will be published in Italian (or mother language) and English or only in Italian language (or mother language) with an abstract in English of at least 4.000 characters.
