![]() ![]() ![]() Looking forward, Tor is also developing a new research project on the relationship between anti-imperialism and international law, with a particular focus on the anti-imperial movements of the 20th century. Against common assumptions that the pirate is a timeless legal category stretching backwards for millennia, he suggests that the modern juridical image of the pirate, as the enemy of trade, takes shape and crystallises only in the long-16th century, the product of this particular juncture reflecting inter-imperial rivalries and emerging merchant capitalist interests. The book reconstructs the conceptual history of the pirate in international law, analysing the theorisations of legitimate and illegitimate maritime commerce offered by international legal thinkers in their political-economic contexts. His forthcoming book, which builds on his doctoral thesis, develops a materialist history of the pirate in international legal thought. Tor’s work is focused on the history and theory of international law, as well as critical and approaches to international law and left-legal theory more generally. He will be joining the Faculty of Law in October 2023 as Assistant Professor in International Law. The Centre is delighted to announce that Tor Krever, currently Assistant Professor at the School of Law, University of Warwick, will be joining the Lauterpacht Centre as a Fellow from immediate effect.
