The Department of Business Humanities and Law welcomes you to join us on 12-13 June 2025 for the international conference ‘Legal Genealogies of Global Commerce: Constructing a New Jurisprudence’. This two-day international conference aims to use critical reconstructions to foreground the legal genealogies of global commerce as a springboard for developing a diagnosis of the present and articulating a perspective for the future.
In this conference, we aim to discuss the legal landscape and legal infrastructure of global commerce, and particularly the historical evolution of its basic legal conceptuality. We seek to inquire into the degree of conceptual, material and regulatory (dis-)continuity between the colonial institutional forms of the past and the institutional forms of present-day global commerce. The core question to be answered is: How can we understand the genealogy inscribed in the contemporary legal landscape of global commerce, including its colonial pasts, as we construct a future jurisprudence of global commerce? To understand this evolving legal landscape, conference participants will focus on its central legal concepts, including its normativities, jurisdictions, practices and ecologies.
This conference is organized by the Department of Business Humanities and Law in collaboration with the Amsterdam Law School and with the support of the European Research Council Advanced Grant ‘Global Value Chain Law: Constituting Connectivity, Contracts and Corporations (GLOBALVALUE)’.
The programme is available here Free attendance. For those interested to attend please write to Josefine Lykkegaard, jly.bhl@cbs.dk. |
