1st time I presented my book 'An Empire of Laws' & my paper 'Colonial republicanism on the Mekong.' Feedback was positive & enriching! Thanks so much to William Mulligan, Robert Gerwarth and Kate O’Hanlon for making this presentation at UCD possible. It was so important to me!

A thread on opium, Indochina and France inspired by my conversation with @HistoryNed on the need to see the 1961 convention through the lens of decolonization, specifically focusing on the financial balance sheet, and loss of major sources of income for former colonial powers.

In 1938, the sinologist Jean Escarra published in France a book entitled "L'Honorable Paix japonaise." In his foreword, the description of the geopolitical context is fascinating (see below).
