While it means nothing more than place, I suggest one could draw from Benjamin’s work on dwelling to ponder on the meaning of being within the spaces of 19th century (counter) revolutionary internationalism. In this vein, I read Benjamin’s unfinished Arcades Project—and, in particular, its analysis of the rise of iron & glass architecture that accompanied the conquering bourgeois and the persistent aristocracy—to analyze the new built environments of the fin de siècle North Atlantic diplomacy. Despite the growing interest in the history of global governance, for historians and critical legal scholars alike, the spatial dimension of “the international” have been a largely unexplored affair. Conversely, I suggest Benjamin’s insistence on the materiality of architecture reminds us that international law’s castles were not built solely in the air. In this vein, I suggest one can trace a material history of the spaces in which revolutionary and counterrevolutionary internationalisms struggled to fashion a shell for themselves during Europe’s turbulent 19th century. 000301876 542__ $$fOpen access article, Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 000301876 580__ $$aIn: German Law Journal, Volume 24(2023), no 7, pages 1169-1183 000301876 6531_ $$aArts and Culture$$0319117 000301876 6531_ $$aCities, Space and Geographies$$0319118 000301876 6531_ $$aDiplomacy 000301876 6531_ $$aGlobal Governance 000301876 6531_ $$aJustice, Equity and Inclusion 000301876 700__ $$aQuíroga-Víllamarín, Daníel Rícardo 000301876 8564_ $$9ce02d14d-add9-47be-8084-a9f2a5486a18$$s343455$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/301876/files/endroits-of-planetary-ordering-violence-law-space-and-capital-in-the-diplomatic-history-of-19th-century-europe.pdf 000301876 901__ $$uGlobal Governance Centre$$0319297 000301876 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:301876$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000301876 981__ $$aoverwrite
