In addition to a paper by Amirell\, the stellar panel features presentations by Saliha Belmessous\, Edward Ke ene\, and Inge Van Hulle.\n \;\nThe publication of the volume \;Em pire by Treaty\, edited by Saliha Belmessous\, in 2015\, stimulated a rene wed interest in the role of international treaties and treaty-making in th e context of modern imperialism. Whereas the orthodox view\, which emerged in the context of mid-twentieth century decolonisation\, regarded treatie s primarily as unequal instruments of Western imperialism\, obtained large ly by means of gunboat diplomacy\, recent research in the fields of global history\, new diplomatic history\, and the history of international law h as yielded a more nuanced and multi-facetted picture of the crucial role o f treaties and treaty-making in colonial and imperial contexts. Researcher s have for example highlighted how cross-cultural diplomatic encounters an d personal relations influenced treaty-making processes\, how Europeans tr ied to fit purportedly traditional practices of diplomacy and inter-polity relations into the international treaty-system\, how non-European actors actively used treaties as a means of promoting their interests\, how non-s tate actors frequently initiated treaty-making processes\, and how individ ual treaties often were part of larger\, long-term treaty-making projects promoted by leading international treaty parties. Other topics that have b een explored include the sometimes flawed anthropological understanding of how treaties were understood by non-Europeans\, the substantial differenc es in the existing versions in different languages of the treaties and the ir subsequent paper-trails\, e.g. with regard to biases and misrepresentat ions in the published and digitized versions of the treaties that to this day provide the main sources for research in the field.\nTen years after t he publication of \;Empire by Treaty\, this panel takes stock of the c urrent research in the field of treaties and treaty-making in imperial set tings. It highlights some of the major research efforts currently underway on treaty-making in different parts of the world that were affected by Eu ropean colonialism and imperialism.\n DTSTART:20250910T143000Z DTEND:20250910T163000Z GEO:00;0 LOCATION:M1088\, Linnaeus University\, Vaxjo.
