To what extent can we characterize the relations between states as Amicitia, as interstate friendships, and do they exist as juridical concepts? Join us in Episode 4 as we trace the historical and legal origins of Amicitia with Randall Lesaffer, discussing his 2002 article “Amicitia in Renaissance Peace and Alliance Treaties (1450-1530)", published in JHIL 4(1) (2002), 77–99. What significance does Amicitia have in the European legal tradition and why is it still relevant today? How might the history of international law help us better understand ancient concepts that can be found in our current legal systems? Tune in, to find out more about the fascinating concept of interstate friendships!

Although normative rules for the regulation of inter-power relationships have existed for centuries, the term “international law” and the meanings we attach to it today differs strongly from earlier notions of international law that we can find throughout world history. In Episode 3 of Voices of JHIL, we talk to Dominik Steiger about Heinhard Steiger’s, article “From the International Law of Christianity to the International Law of the World Citizen,” published in JHIL 3(2) (2000), 180-193. What are turning points in the history of international law and how can we periodize the history of international law despite the complex terminological issues we may face? Join us in this thrilling conversation to find out more!
