{"product_id":"9780674986855","title":"Rage for Order : The British Empire and the Origins of International Law, 1800-1850 by Lauren Benton","description":"International law burst on the scene as a new field in the late nineteenth century. Where did it come from? Rage for Order finds the origins of international law in empires-especially in the British Empire's sprawling efforts to refashion the imperial constitution and use it to order the world in the early part of that century.   \"Rage for Order is a book of exceptional range and insight. Its successes are numerous. At a time when questions of law and legalism are attracting more and more attention from historians of 19th-century Britain and its empire, but still tend to be considered within very specific contexts, its sweep and ambition are particularly welcome.Rage for Order is a book that deserves to have major implications both for international legal history, and for the history of modern imperialism.\"-Alex Middleton, Reviews in History\"Rage for Order offers a fresh account of nineteenth-century global order that takes us beyond worn liberal and post-colonial narratives into a new and more adventurous terrain.\"-Jens Bartelson, Australian Historical Studies\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56293976113525,"sku":"9780674986855","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674986855.jpg?v=1762760803","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674986855","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
