This contribution discusses Antoine II Pecquet's 1757 Esprit des Maximes Politiques pour servir de suite à l'Esprit des Loix du Président de Montesquieu, from the point of view of eighteenth-century in-house foreign office legal advice. It was presented in draft at the 7th Biennial Conference of the European Society for Comparative Legal History (Augsburg, June 2023) and at the 16th Congress of the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (Rome, July 2023).
Pecquet notably refers to Montesquieu, but even more to Grotius.

I was happy to participate in the 8th Biennial Conference of the European Society for Comparative Legal History, where I presented the activity report of the ESCLH Blog, presided a panel and spoke in a panel with dr. Stefano Cattelan and dr. Raphaël Cahen (both VUB/CORE), wherein all contributions focused on the law of nations prior to professionalisation in the 1870s.

I presented at the conference organised by Leiden University, the Grotiana Foundation and many other partners at Leiden University's campus in The Hague, commemorating 400 years of De Iure Belli ac Paris Libri Tres.

This volume by both younger and more established specialists of legal, maritime, diplomatic, and political history covers the nuanced interplay of neutrality and the law of the sea within Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, emphasising the opening up of the world in the early modern period (i.e. Africa, North America, and the Caribbean). The various faces of neutrality, both in law and politics, appear through commercial, administrative, and geopolitical practical cases and in the writings of famous legal writers. By linking up different sets of knowledge, a kaleidoscope of power configurations and arguments guides the reader through the labyrinth of trade, sea power, and negotiations.
