Game Development with Students

The project Game Development with Students introduces interested educators to an innovative teaching tool with practical insights from the international relations classroom. Game development with students is a specialized form of game-based and project-based learning. It incentivizes both student creativity and in-class student-teacher co-creation and enables a particularly participative and result-oriented approach to the subject matter. The method is thematically flexible enough to travel across different fields of study and is adaptable to different levels of complexity. To enable other educators to implement this innovative teaching tool, we develop instructional materials (an educators handbook as well as educational videos), providing both general information on the experiential, game-based learning theory undergirding the method as well as practical, hands-on tips and trick on how to implement it in different educational settings. In doing so, we address the important, interconnected educational challenges of the transferability and sustainability of teacher developed tools.

Corpus Synodalium

Throughout the later Middle Ages, bishops across Latin Christendom promulgated provincial canons and diocesan statutes to guide the clergy and instruct the faithful. Offering direct access to more than 1700 of these texts (many transcribed directly from manuscripts or rare early printings), Corpus Synodalium allows users to explore and compare these texts using a variety of simple text analysis tools (including fuzzy and faceted searches, collocation, and time series). In addition, users can look for spatial patterns within the text corpus by exporting search results to the first-ever digital atlas of the dioceses and ecclesiastical provinces of late medieval Latin Christendom. The project website also includes a working repertory of the extant synodal statutes and provincial canons from 1200-1500, which lists their date, location, issuing authority, principal sources/editions, and more.

Thirst for Justice: The International Court of Justice

This textbook goes beyond a straightforward account of the International Court of Justice. At its heart lies a deeper question: does the work of the ICJ retain meaningful relevance for the world community, and if so, does it do so despite the emerging dynamics of a multipolar world order, or perhaps precisely because of them? To answer that question, the book takes a deliberately judicial approach. The bulk of its pages are devoted to the close examination of some of the most significant cases in the Court’s entire history, including those of its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ). In doing so, it uncovers what are often the best-kept secrets of this venerable institution: its actual judgments, and what they reveal about the evolution of international law across the decades. Three chapters structure the work around the Court’s past, present, and future. The opening chapter traces the history of the ICJ from its institutional roots, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and the PCIJ, through the exceptional and often turbulent arc of the twentieth century. Written in accessible language, it introduces readers to the Court’s main functions, its composition, and its structure, offering a nuanced portrait of an institution that came of age during one of history’s most consequential periods. The cases examined in the two subsequent chapters were selected through a rigorous process involving a broad pool of experienced international lawyers. In total, fourteen cases and one Advisory Opinion are analysed, proceedings that have already shaped the international legal order and are likely to continue doing so in matters of considerable consequence. Dit leerboek gaat verder dan een rechtlijnige beschrijving van het Internationaal Gerechtshof (ICJ). Centraal staat een diepere vraag: behoudt het werk van het ICJ een wezenlijke betekenis voor de internationale gemeenschap, en zo ja, doet het dat ondanks de opkomende dynamiek van een multipolaire wereldorde, of misschien juist dankzij die dynamiek? Om die vraag te beantwoorden, kiest het boek bewust voor een rechterlijke benadering. Het grootste deel van het boek is gewijd aan een nauwgezette analyse van enkele van de belangrijkste zaken uit de volledige geschiedenis van het Hof, waaronder die van zijn voorganger, het Permanente Hof van Internationale Justitie (PCIJ). Daarbij worden de vaak best bewaarde geheimen van deze eerbiedwaardige instelling blootgelegd: haar daadwerkelijke uitspraken en wat deze onthullen over de ontwikkeling van het internationaal recht door de decennia heen. Drie hoofdstukken structureren het werk rond het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van het Hof. Het openingshoofdstuk schetst de geschiedenis van het ICJ, vanaf zijn institutionele wortels – waaronder het Permanente Hof van Arbitrage (PCA) en het PCIJ – tot aan de uitzonderlijke en vaak turbulente ontwikkeling van de twintigste eeuw. In toegankelijke taal maakt het de lezer vertrouwd met de belangrijkste taken, de samenstelling en de structuur van het Hof, en biedt het een genuanceerd beeld van een instelling die tot volle wasdom kwam tijdens een van de meest ingrijpende perioden uit de wereldgeschiedenis. De zaken die in de twee daaropvolgende hoofdstukken worden behandeld, zijn geselecteerd via een zorgvuldig proces waarbij een brede groep ervaren internationaal juristen betrokken was. In totaal worden veertien zaken en één advies (Advisory Opinion) geanalyseerd: procedures die de internationale rechtsorde reeds diepgaand hebben beïnvloed en naar verwachting ook in de toekomst richtinggevend zullen blijven voor vraagstukken van groot internationaal belang.

Legal Network Analysis

How can complex legal systems, filled with interconnected cases, statutes, and actors, be understood through data? Legal Network Analysis offers law students and researchers a practical guide to mapping and interpreting relationships in legal data using the tools of network science. Building on the foundations of graph theory, this open textbook shows how relationships between cases, statutes, or states can reveal underlying structures in law that traditional methods often overlook. Whether analysing citation networks, treaties among nations, or the diffusion of legal norms, readers learn to translate legal questions into visual and quantitative insights. Developed by the Law and Tech Lab at Maastricht University, this resource combines conceptual clarity with applied learning. Each chapter blends concise explanations with interactive Jupyter notebooks, allowing readers to reproduce, modify, and experiment with examples in real time. Appendices include step-by-step guidance for data preparation, visualisation, and software setup; making the book equally accessible for newcomers and advanced students. Designed to support the Network Analysis course at Maastricht University, this textbook is also a valuable standalone introduction for anyone exploring the data-driven dimensions of law and policy.

Hoe dacht de middeleeuwer over de ideale date?

Dating was een leuk en spannend onderwerp in de middeleeuwen, juist omdat seksualiteit toen eigenlijk primair binnen het huwelijk hoorde te worden beleefd. Er hing bovendien nogal wat af van wat je uitspookte op liefdesgebied, vooral als jongvolwassene. Zaken als de juiste partnerkeuze en het behoud van maagdelijkheid konden met name voor vrouwen en meisjes immers bepalend zijn voor hun verdere leven. Het was dus belangrijk dat de datingfase van de relatie soepel verliep. Maar hoe zag een ideale date er naar middeleeuws idee eigenlijk uit? Met wie beleefde je die en wat stond er te gebeuren? Welke rollen en idealen waren weggelegd voor mannen en vrouwen? En wat kon je doen als het niet ging zoals gehoopt, zoals bij een afwijzing of bij spijt? Aan de hand van het bekende en geliefde Antwerps liedboek (1544) reconstrueert Cécile de Morrée op levendige wijze laatmiddeleeuwse visies op liefde, daten en seks vóór het huwelijk in de Lage Landen. Het liedboek biedt een inkijkje in een samenleving waarin gelijkwaardigheid, wederzijds respect en consent als belangrijke waarden in relaties golden. Hoewel opvattingen over seks en dating zijn veranderd, zijn de vragen die de middeleeuwer zich stelde verrassend actueel gebleven.

If you're going to be a writer, it's best to find yourself in a place where there's plenty to write about, and fifteenth-century Italy was definitely one of those places.

This week, Danièle speaks with David Marsh about Leon Battista Alberti's life and writing, in and around the great figures of fifteenth-century Italy.
