New Book: "Manufacturing Sovereignty" International Law, Labour Struggle, and the Making of Iraq by Ali Hammoudi
International Law, Labour Struggle, and the Making of Iraq
Ali Hammoudi
This book delves into the legal and labour history of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq to explore the role international law and its institutions played in Iraq's state formation.
Spanning various international archives and Arabic primary source materials, this book offers an example of a social, legal and labour history written from below, centering ordinary working peoples' agency in the historiography of international law. Drawing on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and Marxist methodologies, it emphasises the significance of the semi-periphery in the making of the international legal order.
Ali Hammoudi is Assistant Professor at University of Windsor Faculty of Law, Canada.
