Laying Down the Law: Americans as makers of legal worlds in occupied Germany and Japan

Hosted by the Department of Law

Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building , United Kingdom

Speaker

Rande Kostal

Professor of Law, Western University

Chair

Michael Lobban

Professor of Legal History Department of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Law

Professsor Rande Kostal will explore the aims, reach and grasp of American power in the construction of liberal models of the rule of law in occupied Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan following the Second World War. 

His ideas come from writing his forthcoming book entitled Laying Down the Law: The United States and the Legal Reconstruction of Germany and Japan which will be published by Harvard University Press.

This lecture will argue that while the governing elite of the United States possessed the military, financial and psychological resources required to attempt the simultaneous reconstruction of two captive legal systems, it lacked sufficient political, moral, intellectual and administrative capacity to fully realize these goals. Indeed, the advent of Cold War with the Soviet Union led American leadership to halt, even to undermine, its liberal reconstructive projects in occupied Germany and Japan.  

Rande Kostal LL.B. (Western University) 1981, M.A. (McMaster) 1983, Ph.D. (Oxford) 1989, called to the Bar of Ontario in 1984.
