This collection came out of the conference ‘1917: Revolution,
Intervention and International Law(s)’ held at Melbourne Law School
in August 2017. We would like to thank all of the speakers and participants
at the conference, for their efforts in thinking through the concerns
of the conference and this volume, and for the stimulating discussion and
exchange that ensued. Our gratitude is due to the contributors to this
volume for the brilliant and considered set of chapters they provided. It
has been our pleasure to work with you all.
The conference was able to take place as a result of the generous
support of the Australian Research Council through Anne Orford’s
Laureate Fellowship and Melbourne Law School’s International
Collaboration Fund. Our warm thanks go to Jack Stanovsek and
Wendy Chen for their extremely capable and diligent efforts in making
the event possible. Wendy Chen also provided editorial assistance for this
book, for which we are grateful.
