This cycle intends to explore the differentiated uses of international law, its ambivalences, its strategic appropriations, and the tensions it arouses in a world undergoing recomposition. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining law, political science, history and postcolonial studies, the aim is to gain a better understanding of the power relationships, normative circulations and legal imaginaries at work in the contemporary production of law.

This study day will bring together established researchers and young scholars from different institutions in France and abroad. It will inaugurate a space for critical reflection around the place of the Global South in international law, both as an object of study, as a political actor and as a producer of knowledge.
