Interests
Andrew’s research explores topical and structural questions of international law and global governance, with a current focus on the role, regulation and responsibility of global private actors and their relationship with international law and the state. He is also interested in the interaction between international law and other legal/normative systems; the law of immunity; the impact of digital technologies and big data on democracy and global governance; the law of genocide; international law on the use of force; and the ways in which international law exacerbates and/or responds to human vulnerability, disenfranchisement and inequality. Among other things, Andrew is currently completing a project called “Everywhere and Nowhere: The Transnational Corporation in the Global Legal Order”.
