Relations internationales et droit(s). Acteurs, institutions et législations comparées (1815–1914), edited by Raphaël Cahen, Sara L. Kimble, Pierre Allorant, Walter Badier and P. Sean Morris

The volume engages with a crucial historical moment in which international law and diplomacy were undergoing profound transformations. To contribute effectively to the development of the new international legal order, political entities had to conform to the status of sovereign, independent, and legally recognized states, a prerequisite for exercising the right of legation. However, this process was neither uniform nor confined to Europe.
