This compelling narrative explores how legal frameworks shaped the development of international law and the concept of order in a rapidly evolving world.

Through a meticulous examination of case studies and historical events, Benton and Ford illuminate the tensions between local customs and imperial authority, revealing how these conflicts laid the groundwork for modern legal systems.
