Recenzje

A successful conference publication makes you wish you had been there yourself. This is certainly the case with Contingency in International Law: On the Possibility of Different Legal Histories. The apparently lively, inspiring air of the original conference held in Amsterdam in 2018 has certainly been caught on the printed pages of this volume.
