Chapter: The Political Theology of Trade Law: The Scholastic Contribution
The chapter, "The Political Theology of Trade Law: The Scholastic Contribution", by Martti Koskenniemi (University of Helsinki) was published in the "festschrift", "From Bilateralism to Community Interest: Essays in Honour of Bruno Simma", eds. Ulrich Fastenrath, Rudolf Geiger, Daniel-Erasmus Khan, Andreas Paulus, Sabine von Schorlemer, and Christoph Vedder (Oxford University Press, March 2011: pp. 90-113).
Quote: "In his massive opus on legal and political theory, the Jesuit Francisco Suárez (1548-1617) addresses at great length the distinction between natural law and the jus gentium (law of nations). ... Among institutions of jus gentium, Suárez lists the freedom of trade. This chapter revisits the ideological ancestry of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the Christian narrative of the power of humans over things (and thus on each other) through the worldwide application of dominium proprietatis - the right of free use and exchange of private property."
