China Mieville
Between Equal Rights: A Marxist Theory of International Law
Aakar Books 2016. First edition. Softcover. New. This book critically examines existing theories of international law and makes the case for an alternative Marxist approach. China Miéveille draws on the pioneering jurisprudence of Evgeny Pashukanis linking law to commodity exchange and in turn uses international law to make better sense of Pashukanis. Miéville argues that despite its advances the recent `New Stream` of radical international legal scholarship like the mainstream it opposes fails to make sense of the legal form itself. Drawing on Marxist theory and a critical history of international law from the sixteenth century to the present day Miéville seeks to address that failure and argues that international law is fundamentally constituted by the violence of imperialism. Printed Pages: 387. Aakar Books paperback

'Foreign Mud' was opiumsmuggled into China in the early nineteenth century by British and other Western ships while their governments looked the other way.The merchants saw it as a fair tradeespecially because China refused to open her markets to the world.To the Chinese courthoweverit was an outrage: an affront to the dignity of the Celestial Empire by unruly foreign Barbarians.At a time when the British were determined to force their way into every market of the world and the Chinese retained their centuries-old aloofnesswar was inevitable. First published in 1946Maurice Collis's elegant and colourful account of the Opium War is now regarded as a masterpiece.In writing that is intimatelivelyfull of comedy and ironic contrasts Collis gives a fascinating account of this strange and highly intricate tradeand of the miscomprehension but also the strange similarities between the two arrogant nations. Maurice Stewart Collis was born in 1889the son of an Irish solicitor.He wrote over twenty booksincluding volumes of autobiographybiographytravel writingnovelshistories and three plays.He died in 1973.
