Abstract

Challenging the common assumption that legal misunderstanding was pervasive, this article analyzes jurisdictional politics as an element of “interpolity law”—a broad framework for legal interactions across polities and regions in the early modern world. It draws on recent research on jurisdictional politics to show how such an approach allows historians to avoid some of the familiar pitfalls associated with studies of legal pluralism. This approach provides clear methodological advantages over the study of global legal history as a function of multi-normativity. Political communities across the globe centered on internal and external conflicts on the nature and reach of legal authority. By focusing on jurisdiction as a touchstone of legal action and tracing how legal authority was produced through conflict, our approach treats legal pluralism as a valuable descriptive term rather than an analytical framework. The study of jurisdictional politics portrays state authority as potentially one among many forms of legal authority, and it brings into sharp focus continuities within and across pluri-political regions. By tracking broad institutional shifts that occurred when empires and states moved to assert power over multi-jurisdictional orders, the perspective informs new narratives about trajectories of regional and global legal order.
跨国法与司法政治
本文挑战了普遍存在的法律误解这一普遍假设,将管辖权政治作为“国际法”的一个要素进行了分析——“国际法”是现代早期世界中跨政治和地区的法律互动的一个广泛框架。它借鉴了最近对司法政治的研究,以展示这种方法如何使历史学家避免与法律多元主义研究相关的一些常见陷阱。作为多规范的功能,这种方法比研究全球法律史提供了明显的方法优势。世界各地的政治共同体都以法律权威的性质和范围的内部和外部冲突为中心。通过将管辖权作为法律行动的试金石并追溯法律权威是如何通过冲突产生的,我们的方法将法律多元化视为一个有价值的描述性术语,而不是一个分析框架。司法政治的研究将国家权力描绘为潜在的多种形式的法律权威之一,并将焦点集中在多元政治区域内和跨区域的连续性上。通过追踪帝国和国家在多管辖秩序中维护权力时发生的广泛制度变迁,该视角为有关地区和全球法律秩序轨迹的新叙述提供了依据。
