Thank you!

Super interesting. ‘Actually there is no model [for what we do] on the left’

It’s been really fantastic! 4 more years!!

'Many international lawyers have written about the New Haven School. Ríán Derrig's elegant monograph is the first to provide an adequate account of the school’s creation, development, and impact in international law and beyond...'

—Jochen von Bernstorff, Univ of Tübingen

'Equally at home in the rural community of northern Mississippi in the early 1900s and in Viennese salons of the 1960s, Derrig evokes the cultural, social, and historical milieu of two key figures in US intellectual and legal life...'

—Neha Jain, Northwestern University

'... Derrig has succeeded in producing an original work with sometimes surprising insights about the origins, substance, and influence of what we have reason to call "American International Law".'

—Martti Koskenniemi, FBA, University of Helsinki

'... Read the book not only to understand whether and how international law shaped US Cold War foreign policy but also why it is taught the way it is taught in American law schools today.'

—Hengameh Saberi, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University

'If you want a really thoughtful analysis of the New Haven School, with no axes to grind and a thorough understanding of issues and people, then this is the book to read.'

—Dame Rosalyn Higgins GBE KC, former Judge and President of the International Court of Justice

Please read the pieces and engage with the IPOS initiative! It's a potentially significant and constructive proposal to reform international ocean governance.

Second, this International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law commentary piece (brill.com/view/journal...) is a deeper look at the underpinning rationale of IPOS and its use of futures oriented methods - potentially tracking a broader revival of 1960s and 1970s futures oriented thinking.
