In Episode 9 of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we once again turn to history to discuss timely and pressing questions. This time, Scott Andrew Keefer joins us to discuss his article “Building the Palace of Peace: The Hague Conference of 1907 and Arms Control before the World War,” published in JHIL 9(1) (2007), 35–81, which explores the international legal dynamics of the naval arms race of the early 20th century. From a comparative historical analysis of the multilateral failure of the 1907 Hague Conference and the bilateral success of the 1902 Argentine-Chilean Naval Armament Treaty, we move on to broader questions regarding international law’s capacity to respond to global security issues.

In Episode 8 of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we are talking to political scientist Peter Niesen about Bruno Arcidiacono’s 2006 article, “‘Non par la guerre, à la manière des sauvages’: Kant et l'avènement de l'état de droit entre les nations,” published in JHIL 8(1) (2006), 39–89. Together with Professor Niesen, we explore Immanuel Kant’s conceptualisation of international law. How have scholars of international law interpreted his ideas? And which methodological pitfalls do we encounter when we attempt to interpret historical philosophical texts in search of guidance for contemporary issues? Tune in to find out!

In this seventh episode of the Voices of JHIL podcast, we are talking to Christoph Stumpf about his article “Christian and Islamic Traditions of Public International Law,“ published in JHIL 7(1) (2005), 69–80. Together with Professor Stumpf, we explore Christian and Islamic religion in their functions as foundations to international legal systems, and we trace the process of secularization in law throughout history. Are there similarities between legal and religious interpretation techniques? How is religion still relevant in current international law? Tune in to find out!
