My book Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions for Human Rights is now available!
Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions analyzes the role and impact of informal collaborations in the UN human rights treaty bodies. The book dives beneath the surface of the formal access, procedures, and actors of the UN system to reveal how independent experts and external collaborators play a key role in the development of human rights. Your institution(s) can order the book for their libraries. Please get in touch if you're interested in reading chapters but lack institutional access. News & Events

Most Interesting 2021 The book is on the International Law Reporter's "Most interesting 2021" list, what an honor! Article on Völkerrechtsblog Völkerrechtsblog published an article on the state and future of human rights scholarship. I am very excited to see my book featured in this piece as one example for "an increased turn towards a genre that could be labeled 'critical human rights defenses': books that insist on human rights’ continued relevance while taking up the challenge by recent human rights critique". Thank you! Human Rights Day 2021 To celebrate Human Rights Day (10th December), CUP has compiled a list of human rights books and articles. My book is included in this list which means you can now read the introduction to "Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions for Human Rights" for free. |
