Research project International Law and Political Transitions after Armed Conflict
PhD project that examines whether and how international legal norms – including those that concern security and stability, democracy and inclusion – shape the process and content of constitutional change after armed conflict.
The project examines if and how international legal norms practically affect political negotiation and decision-making on the process and substance of governmental and constitutional change after armed conflict.
In particular, the project examines whether the influence of international law contributes to (or undermines) political transition outcomes which are inclusive, democratic and nationally-owned.
