Estonian historian and scholar

Peeter Järvelaid

Peeter Järvelaid is an Estonian legal scholar and historian. Järvelaid was a professor in the University of Tallinn, but was degraded to associate professor in 2016. He claims that he has developed semiotic and personality-centered research direction, writing hundreds of articles mostly about the European and Estonian legal history and education, published in Estonian, English, German, French, Russian, Latvian, Finnish, Lithuanian and Swedish. Since 2006 his studies have been increasingly concentrated on the international relations in the 20th century, which among others has required intensive archival researches in German and Polish archives.
