The Invention of Custom

The concept of customary international law, although differently formulated, is already present in early modern European debates on natural law and the law of nations.

It reveals not only what the rise of Europe implied for the cultural identities of non-elite Middle Easterners and North Africans, but also what dynamics were involved in the imposition or local adoptions of European cultural norms and how the colonial encounter impacted the cultural identities of the colonizers themselves.
