DESCRIPTION:**To receive the paper in advance\, please contact md718@cam.a
 c.uk**\n\nThe paper investigates an alternative history of the principle o
 f Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources (PSNR) in the twentieth cen
 tury. By looking at attempts in the Americas in the interwar period\,\n ra
 ther than the commonly studied period of the United Nations General Assemb
 ly in the 1950s and 1960s\, we are able to reimagine the stakes of this in
 ternational legal principle\, and frame it against a broader story of the 
 use of narratives around cosmopolitanism as a means to reinforce military 
 and economic power structures.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: Dr Lucas Lixinski is
  Associate Professor of Law\, University of New South Wales. He researches
  and writes primarily in the areas of public international law\, internati
 onal cultural heritage law and international human rights law. Dr Mats Ing
 ulstad is a Researcher in Historical Studies\, Norwegian University of Sci
 ence and Technology. He is currently leading a project on 'European integr
 ation and the quest for access to external natural resources\, 1945–2015
 '\, and the international institutions section of another major project\, 
 'Fate of Nations. Natural resources and historical development\, 1880-2015
 '.    \n\nABOUT THE SEMINAR: The Legal Histories beyond the State series i
 s an initiative of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law\, the Cent
 re for History and Economics\, and the Cambridge Centre for Political Thou
 ght. It brings together historians\, political theorists and lawyers who a
 re interested in the social\, economic and political 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 domestic public and private law 
 in its manifold influences on the nature and form of relations across bord
 ers. We are interested in legal actors and institutions\, both national an
 d supranational\; doctrines and concepts\, like jurisdiction\; and also di
 verse forms of legal border-crossing\, including the migration of people\,
  ideas and objects across time and place. Embracing new trends in legal an
 d historical research\, we pursue the exchange of legal ideas in formal an
 d informal contexts\, and the creation\, appropriation and interpretation 
 of law by non-traditional actors\, and in unexpected places.\n\nSome sessi
 ons will be devoted to discussion of new\, published work in the field\, a
 nd others to the sharing of works-in-progress\, whether draft articles\, c
 hapters or book prospectuses\, with a core group of scholars from a variet
 y of disciplines.\n\nAll are welcome.
