ABSTRACTThe purpose of this course is to show the critical importance of historical viewpoint on international law in Europe and East Asia. Thus, the beginning aims to understand whether international law is really a concept unique to the European States in pre-modern and modern times, as it was often assumed for a long time. It appears that many countries had another type of international order but shifted to European international law in the nineteenth century. The “reception” process of European international law is further studied for East Asian countries, as the case of Japan is explained in depth.

RÉSUMÉLe but de ce cours est de montrer l'importance cruciale du point de vue historique sur le droit international en Europe et en Asie de l'Est. Ainsi, le début de ce cours vise à comprendre si le droit international est un concept propre aux États européens dans les temps pré-modernes et modernes, comme on l'a souvent supposé pendant longtemps. Il semble que de nombreux pays avaient un autre type d'ordre international mais se sont tournés vers le droit international européen au XIXe siècle. Le processus de « réception » du droit international européen est étudié plus en détail pour les pays d'Asie de l'Est, comme le cas du Japon est expliqué en détail.
