To what extent can we characterize the relations between states as Amicitia, as interstate friendships, and do they exist as juridical concepts? Join us in Episode 4 as we trace the historical and legal origins of Amicitia with Randall Lesaffer, discussing his 2002 article “Amicitia in Renaissance Peace and Alliance Treaties (1450-1530)", published in JHIL 4(1) (2002), 77–99. What significance does Amicitia have in the European legal tradition and why is it still relevant today? How might the history of international law help us better understand ancient concepts that can be found in our current legal systems? Tune in, to find out more about the fascinating concept of interstate friendships!
