Abstract

This conference explores the early modern law of the sea as a contested legal regime forged through warfare, commercial rivalry, jurisdictional overlap, and asymmetries of power. It invites contributions examining how conflict, enforcement practices, neutral navigation, and maritime litigation contributed to the historical formation of the law of the sea between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries.
