Colloquium "Europe's History of the Present: Universalism and Particularism"

The KFG colloquium continues on Monday, July 1st, with an interdisciplinary workshop on theories and methods on "International Law", organized by Junior Fellow Filip Batselé and our guest Karin van Leeuwen.

Filip Batselé is a legal historian focusing on the history of international economic law and policy, with a focus on Western Europe during the second half of the 20th century. He has a PhD in Laws (2023) from Ghent University and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Double degree). Filip has previously published a monograph (on the law of slavery) with Springer. Over the past few years, he has focused his writing on the historical role of large corporations in international law, as well as international investment protection policy during the Cold War era.

Karin van Leeuwen is assistant professor in European political history at Maastricht University. Her research focuses on the interface between politics and law, and analyses how modern European politics is shaped by law and legal practices. Her publications for example regard international law in and around the League of Nations (A political and legal history of the Advisory Committee of Jurists, with Morten Rasmussen, 2021); constitutionalization and 'legal revolution' in EU law (Paving the road to legal revolution, ELJ 2018); and Dutch constitutional reform (Uit het spoor van Thorbecke, Amsterdam 2013).
