Meguro & Negishi: Histories of international legal theories in Japan: From dialogue to conversation

Maiko Meguro (Univ. of Amsterdam) & Yota Negishi (Seinan Gakuin Univ. - Law) have published Histories of international legal theories in Japan: From dialogue to conversation (Manchester Univ. Press 2026). Here's the abstract:

This volume offers the first systematic account of Japanese international legal theory, tracing more than a century of scholarship across thirteen influential thinkers. Edited by leading Japanese scholars, it examines how theorists working outside international law's Western centre developed sophisticated frameworks to navigate tensions between Western modernity and their own legal and intellectual traditions. The book's central contribution proposes "conversation"-a mode of sustained engagement that respects irreducible differences between legal cultures-as an alternative to "dialogue," which often reinforces hierarchy by presuming full reconciliation of perspectives. Through detailed intellectual biographies spanning six historical periods, contributors show how Japanese scholars strategically adopted legal positivism, articulated transcivilizational approaches, and advanced concepts of normative multilateralism. Aimed at scholars of international law, legal theory, and comparative traditions, the volume demonstrates that the field's future depends on genuinely reciprocal, coexisting perspectives.

Regilme: Statelessness and Citizenship Revocation in Europe: Rethinking Politics, Law, Security, and Human Rights

Salvador Santino Regilme (Leiden Univ. - International Relations) has published Statelessness and Citizenship Revocation in Europe: Rethinking Politics, Law, Security, and Human Rights (De Gruyter 2026). Here's the abstract:

Statelessness often results from discriminatory policies or legal gaps, while citizenship revocation is typically used as a counterterrorism measure. Both processes strip individuals – particularly from minoritized groups – of legal status and access to essential social services, leaving them vulnerable to exclusion, exploitation, and human rights abuses.

With contributions from scholars in political science, international law, and sociology, this unique collection presents case studies of policies that reinforce statelessness; it connects legal doctrines with real-world impacts and critically balances the tensions between security imperatives and human dignity. Statelessness and Citizenship Revocation in Europe calls for policy changes that position citizenship as an essential human right. Offering both rigorous multidisciplinary academic analysis and practical recommendations to address statelessness in contemporary Europe, this book is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and advocates.
