About this listen

In Episode 6, we will be talking to Seth Richardson about Amnon Altman’s article “Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law. The Early Dynastic Period in Southern Mesopotamia”, published in JHIL 6(2) (2004), 153 -172. Join us, as we talk to Seth about the role of law in early Mesopotamia, the Code of Hammurabi and why international relations, and by extension international law, might not be the most appropriate but a rather unconventional way to understand early interstate relations.
