AbstractInternational law, though formally neutral among regime types, has mainly been a product of liberal democracies since World War II. In light of recent challenges to the liberal international order, this Article asks, what would international law look like in an increasingly authoritarian world? As compared with democratic countries, authoritarians emphasize looser cooperation, negotiated settlements, and rules that reinforce regime survival. This raises the possibility of authoritarian international law, designed to extend authoritarian rule across time and space.

Abstract: The Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre (NIMC), located in new Denver, BC, is a small-scale community-initiated preservation project that materialized from the efforts of 20 previously interned Japanese Canadian residents. The site preserves architectural remnants from several original internment shacks established in this area during World War II. This paper examines the presence of gardens, common at heritage sites such as this one, and raises the question of how gardens, as living things, embody memory. In so doing it reflects on the research approach appropriate to such a vexed site of collective trauma, through the notion of tender research. This article features online (http://www.cjc-online.ca) photographs of the Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre. Résumé : Le Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre (NIMC), situé au Nouveau Denver en Colombie Britannique, est un projet communautaire de conservation à petite échelle qui est le fruit de gestes posés par vingt canadiens de souche japonaise qui ont la distinction d’avoir été internés. Le site en question conserve des détails architecturaux tirés de plusieurs cabanes d’internement situées dans cette région durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Cette étude fait le point sur l’existence commune de jardins se retrouvant sur de tels sites patrimoniaux, et pose la question à savoir de quelle façon ceux-ci, en tant qu’entités vivantes, incarnent la mémoire. Le but de cet exercice est de remettre en question, au moyen du concept de recherche douce, la perspective de recherche appropriée d’une enquête sur un tel site de traumatisme collectif. Cet article inclut des photos du Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre disponibles sur le site web de la revue : http://www.cjc-online.ca.

Racist Ideology

Friday 13, 2019 was the day of the election of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the impeachment of Donald Trump. What has happened to liberal democracy that the leaders of two of the most powerful liberal democracies have, as their leaders, people who are fundamentally opposed to the traditions of the post-World War II order, and use the same overtly racist ideology to frame their approach to government? The rise of the ideology of disruption and surveillance capitalism are connected with economic dislocation that destroys faith in the traditional governing order not only in the United States and United Kingdom, but elsewhere in the European Union. There is discussion of systemic racism, and systemic impoverishment. The question that remains is whether we are facing genuine disruption, or if there are solutions that can restore faith in existing institutions while alleviating the misery that lies at the heart of the widespread loss of faith in institutions

Missed Opportunity

De evaluatie van vijftig jaren kopij over de Tweede Wereldoorlog in de BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review (BMGN) levert een rijk maar eenzijdig beeld op. Vooral het feit dat de Belgisch-Nederlandse uitwisseling nooit echt van de grond kwam, mag gezien het oorspronkelijke doel van de BMGN een gemiste kans worden genoemd. Helemaal onlogisch is het echter niet: de Belgische en Nederlandse WOII-geschiedschrijving kenden uiteenlopende nationale ontwikkelingen. Zeker de paradigmatische kaders ontwikkelden zich anders en hadden uiteindelijk zelfs tegengestelde effecten: van een situatie van scherpe polarisering in Nederland tot makke consensus in België. Dat maakt een Belgisch-Nederlands gesprek niet vanzelfsprekend. We bedoelen misschien ongeveer hetzelfde met het begrip ‘accommodatie’, maar de specifieke ladingen die dat begrip heeft gekregen, zijn intussen helemaal anders. De concrete voorwaarden creëren voor een Belgisch-Nederlandse uitwisseling binnen dit onderzoeksveld blijft dus een werf, ook voor de BMGN. Deze interactie zou beide nationale historiografische tradities wellicht verrijken. The evaluation of fifty years of copy about World War II in the BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review (BMGN) yields a rich but one-sided impression. That the Belgian-Dutch exchange never truly got under way may, given the original goal of the BMGN, be considered a missed opportunity. All the same, this is not entirely illogical: Belgian and Dutch WWII historiography followed divergent national trajectories. Especially the paradigmatic contours emerged differently and ultimately even brought about contradictory effects, from deep polarisation in the Netherlands to meek consensus in Belgium. This does not make a Belgian-Dutch dialogue selfevident. We possibly may use the concept ‘accommodation’ with a similar meaning, but the specific connotations that the concept has acquired are by now entirely different. Bringing about the concrete conditions for a Belgian-Dutch exchange within this research field is therefore an ongoing project, even for the BMGN. Such interaction would surely enrich both national historiographic traditions.

Terrorist Organizations

The story of the internment of Italians during World War II raises the same question we ask today about how modern liberal democracies may wage war and remain true to democratic values. As we grapple with the question of what rights are due individuals residing in this country whose ties to terrorist organizations at war with the United States cast suspicion upon their activities, the process of selective internment during World War II provides valuable lessons....
