Biography:
Pär Cassel is currently working on his book manuscript, entitled “Rule of Law or Rule of Laws: Legal pluralism and Extraterritoriality in Nineteenth century East Asia.” The book reopens the question of consular jurisdiction and extraterritoriality in China and Japan and combines the findings of “New Qing history” with the history of the treaty ports in both China and Japan.
Pär Cassel has studied, worked and done research in China and Japan for more than five years and he is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research. He is especially interested in historical problems where international relations, institutional history and linguistics intersect, such as the reception and adoption of consular jurisdiction and international law in East Asia.
