My book Transnational Lawmaking Coalitions for Human Rights will soon be published! This project started as a PhD thesis in Political Science at the University of Potsdam, builds on a two-year postdoc project funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, and is finally forthcoming as a monograph with Cambridge University Press.

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 pre-order the book for their libraries. You can currently find on CUP's website parts of the book available for free, including the introduction. Please get in touch if you're interested in reading other chapters.
