2009 International Law Roundtable

DOES THE CONSTITUTION FOLLOW THE FLAG?
THE EVOLUTION OF TERRITORIALITY IN AMERICAN LAW
 
This fall, Temple University Beasley School of Law's Institute for International Law and Public Policy will host its second annual International Law Roundtable. This year's event will be an informal, day-long exploration of Professor Kal Raustiala's recent book, "Does the Constitution Follow the Flag? The Evolution of Territoriality in American Law." The book examines the way that geography shapes legal rules and understandings - and how fundamental changes in American power and in world politics have challenged and sometimes altered the traditionally territorial system of legal jurisdiction.

Participants, a small group of distinguished scholars drawn from law, international relations, and political economy, will prepare short reaction papers to be circulated prior to the workshop.

Participation at the Roundtable is by invitation only.

For more information on this and other Institute events, contact Joel Houkom at joel.houkom@temple.edu.
