Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of extraterritoriality through its various forms since the Middle Ages, from its roots in diplomatic protection to its modern manifestations in the judicial systems of non-Western countries. The author examines capitulations of privileges granted to Western merchants in the Levant and other early precursors to extraterritoriality to provide context for the United States' own history of such treaties with countries such as Morocco and Japan. The book shows how extraterritoriality preserved the territorial sovereignty of non-Western nations while also protecting Western merchants, missionaries, and diplomats, and served as a critical mechanism for establishing and maintaining trade and diplomacy between vastly different geopolitical and cultural actors in the pre-modern world.
