DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr Miles is the author of a monograph publi
 shed in 2013 (paperback edition published in 2015) in the Cambridge Univer
 sity Press series\, Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law
 \, entitled: The Origins of International Investment Law: Empire\, Environ
 ment and the Safeguarding of Capital.  Dr Miles is a Fellow of the Lauterp
 acht Centre for International Law\, a Fellow of the Cambridge Centre for E
 nvironment\, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG)\, and a Rese
 arch Fellow with the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law 
 (CISDL)\, Montreal\, Canada.\n\nABOUT THE SEMINAR SERIES: The Legal Histor
 ies beyond the State series is an initiative of the Lauterpacht Centre for
  International Law\, the Centre for History and Economics\, and the Cambri
 dge Centre for Political Thought. It brings together historians\, politica
 l theorists and lawyers who are interested in the social\, economic and po
 litical dimensions of law in the early modern and modern periods. We focus
  on the ways in which law and legal institutions order and organize space 
 and people. This encompasses both imperial and international law\, and dom
 estic public and private law in its manifold influences on the nature and 
 form of relations across borders. We are interested in legal actors and in
 stitutions\, both national and supranational\; doctrines and concepts\, li
 ke jurisdiction\; and also diverse forms of legal border-crossing\, includ
 ing the migration of people\, ideas and objects across time and place. Emb
 racing new trends in legal and historical research\, we pursue the exchang
 e of legal ideas in formal and informal contexts\, and the creation\, appr
 opriation and interpretation of law by non-traditional actors\, and in une
 xpected places.\n\nSome sessions will be devoted to discussion of new\, pu
 blished work in the field\, and others to the sharing of works-in-progress
 \, whether draft articles\, chapters or book prospectuses\, with a core gr
 oup of scholars from a variety of disciplines.\n\nAll are welcome.
