Abstract

This article is the second of a two-part analysis of the work of the international legal historian, CH Alexandrowicz. Part II analyses Alexandrowicz’s narrative of the decline of international law represented by 19th-century positivism and the scramble for African territory, where legal principles such as the protectorate became mere tools for acquisition, and treaties bereft of obligation. It traces his sympathy for the post-independence ‘new states’, his hope for the renewal of international law, the Romantic narrative imbuing his secular, modernist eschatology, and his continuing engagement with Indian Constitutional development.

波兰骑士：CH Alexandrowicz 和国际法的重新定位，第二部分：退化和更新的承诺

摘要

本文是对国际法律历史学家 CH Alexandrowicz 作品的两部分分析中的第二部分。第二部分分析了亚历山德罗维奇对以 19 世纪实证主义为代表的国际法衰落和对非洲领土的争夺的叙述，在那里，保护国等法律原则成为纯粹的获取工具，条约被剥夺了义务。它追溯了他对独立后“新国家”的同情，他对国际法更新的希望，充满了他的世俗现代主义末世论的浪漫主义叙事，以及他对印度宪法发展的持续参与。
