Challenging scholars of both colonial history and globalization, Lauren Benton's Law and Colonial Cultures argues that state-centered legal orders emerged as a result of the presence of colonial powers, both European and non-European.

This earlier globalization came to a halt with the hostilities of World War I, followed by …
