“Family of ‘Civilized’ States and Japan; A Story of Humiliation, Assimilation, Defiance and Confrontation” by Ram P. Anand, with Prabhakar Singh

Journal of the History of International Law (JHIL), Brill Season 1 Episode 5

In the fifth episode of Voices of JHIL, we are talking to Prabhakar Singh about Ram P. Anand’s article “Family of "Civilized" States and Japan; A Story of Humiliation, Assimilation, Defiance and Confrontation,” published in JHIL 5(1) (2003), 1-75. What did it take to become recognized as a “civilized” state in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? And which role did international law play in this process for the Japanese empire? Is there something like an “Asian” perspective on the history of international law? These and many other burning questions are discussed in our exciting interview with Professor Singh.
