For example, territory is fundamental in the constitutional order of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. In private law, this attachment to land is equally present. Conflicts in property law are judged by the lex situs. The constitutio Antoniniana (D.1.5.17) did the same for Roman citizenship. National law, comparative law and legal history are based and strongly focus...

Speculative Legal Theory and World (Dis-)order José Antonio Magalhães is a juridico-political theorist and currently a research fellow at ICI-Berlin .    Abstract: The world we thought we lived in, built on eras of diplomacy among human and non-human peoples, seems to be falling apart in the sway of technological acceleration, ecological collapse and geopolitical turmoil. In times of cosmic stability, the work of the jurist became either technical, analytic, interpretive, critical or deconstructive, taking for granted fundamental juridical concepts as well as the world-order they maintain. When, however, worlds themselves are up for grabs, jurists are called upon to create or find the concepts necessary for unforeseen world-arrangements. That implies a mode of jurisprudence different in nature from the ones mentioned above, one in which we cannot take for granted that we know what law is. We call it speculative legal theory. We will explore some basic definitions of SLT as o...
