Vol. 19 No. 1: Winter 2022
Vol. 19, no. 1 (Winter 2022) features the Forum “Maritime Law and World History,” which treats the sea as a space shaped by multiple legal traditions, including Indigenous, Mediterranean, and Islamic approaches to maritime order. The Forum connects ships, sailors, port communities, sovereignty, commerce, and legal practice to show how maritime history can broaden world-history teaching beyond land-based and Eurocentric frameworks. Its contributions include Lincoln Paine’s pedagogical overview, “Something Rich and Strange": Maritime Law in World History, and an examination of Islamic maritime law in Mediterranean and Islamic contexts.
