This book is an examination of the origins of the Latin American international legal order by Juan Pablo Scarfi, a scholar of international legal history. Unlike views of international law as a normative system spreading outward from Europe, this book turns its attention to the Americas from the late 19th to the early 20th century, revealing how international law was reshaped within regional political, academic, and institutional networks. Using "Pan-American international law" as a central thread, the author systematically examines the transnational legal networks formed between American and Latin American jurists, diplomats, and international legal institutions, with a particular focus on the intellectual practices and internal tensions of the American Institute of International Law. Through analyses of the principles of intervention and non-intervention, Pan-Americanism, and codification of international law, the author demonstrates how international law became a crucial tool for American imperial expansion and the construction of regional order.
本书是国际法史学者胡安·巴勃罗·斯卡菲对拉美际法秩序起源的一次考察。不同于将国际法视为自欧洲向外扩散的规范体系, 本书将目光转向19世纪末至20世纪初的美洲大陆, 揭示国际法如何在区域性政治、学术与制度网络中被重新塑造。作者以“泛美国际法”为核心线索, 系统考察了美国与拉丁美洲法学家、外交官和国际法机构之间形成的跨国法律网络, 尤其聚焦美国国际法研究所的思想实践与内部张力。通过对干涉与不干涉原则、泛美主义、国际法典编纂等议题的分析, 作者展示了国际法如何成为美国的帝国扩张、区域秩序建构的重要工具。
