Panel: Contentious Sovereignty: The Late Ottoman Empire and International Legal Theory and Practice

While many are in Chicago for the ASIL Midyear Meeting, I am headed to Denver for the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Legal History. I'll be chairing a great panel on "Contentious Sovereignty: The Late Ottoman Empire and International Legal Theory and Practice." Here are the panelists and their paper titles:

• Aimee M. Genell (Yale Univ.), “Marginal Occupations: The Ottoman Empire and the Ambiguities of Partial Sovereignty in 19th-Century International Law”
• Umut Özsu (Univ. of Manitoba), “The Ottoman Empire, the Origins of Extraterritoriality, and International Legal Theory”
• Will Smiley (Princeton Univ.), “Inventing Intervention: The Ottoman Empire, the Battle of Navarino, and the Use of Force in the 19th Century”
