The New Haven School of International Law: A Book Launch with Ríán Derrig
Feb. 25, 2025
12:10-1:00 pm
Location TBA
Dr. Ríán Derrig, an Associate Research Officer at the WMU-Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute of the World Maritime University, will discuss his book, "The New Haven School" with Yale Law School professors. This book presents a well-researched narrative showing how foreign affairs have shaped American approaches to international law; challenges widespread contemporary interpretations of the New Haven School with unexploited and unpublished archival materials and interviews; and demonstrates the centrality of the New Haven School to the broader field of American international law.
His research focuses on the history and theory of international law, in particular of US approaches to international law, and on redistribution in the law of the sea. His research has been published by the European Journal of International Law, the Journal of the History of International Law, the International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law, the Irish Yearbook of International Law, and elsewhere.
