Unruly Practices at the Border
The aim of this Article is to present a general and nonexhaustive overview of the legal infrastructures that configure cross-border movement in Latin America. It draws on the mobility approach, regime interaction, and—legal—infrastructural studies, which, together, provide a tentative analytical framework for the legal infrastructuring processes that we observe around border regulation in Latin America, an, arguably, understudied but core mobilit…
Beyond the normative impasse of environmental migration
The article draws on the concept of legal infrastructures and infrastructuring processes in the context of the ongoing discussion on the (legal) framing of environmental migration. It lays out why the entanglement of empirical and normative indeterminacy in environmental migration forces opens the door to a transdisciplinary and multidimensional perspective. It explores how framing environmental migration in terms of legal mobility infrastructure…
Light through Life”– an inter-disciplinary long-term integrated health promotion programme for overweight and obese people
Introduction/Background: In 2019, around half of the Austrian adult population was overweight or obese, and this has only worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. While research is clear that sustainable weight loss needs a long-term and holistic approach to support lifestyle changes and address the underlying causes of overweight and obesity, most weight loss programmes offer only short-term and single intervention solutions, with a focus on eithe…
Mobility and legal infrastructure for Ukrainian refugees
The scale and speed of forced displacement following the Russian invasion on 24 February 2022 has been staggering. At the time of writing, an estimated 7 million have been internally and displaced and more than 5 million have fled Ukraine for another country – making it the largest refugee crisis in European history since the Second World War.1 The vast majority have arrived in neighbouring EU countries. In the course of 2 weeks, Poland alone rec…
Discourses on Corruption
Corruption, often described as all that is rotten in the modern society, has become an increasingly dominant theme in contemporary political discourse, one that is related to specific practices, concepts and evaluations that vary across regions, cultures, spheres of action and disciplines. This volume, through case studies, investigates corruption in the Global South (especially India and Brazil) and West (especially Switzerland) to gain a more n…
Memento Mori
The paper contrasts two complementary ways of conceptualising death in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, notably death-in-the-plural, which involves death as an objective and collective phenomenon that occurs on the level of whole populations, and death-in-the-singular, which involves the ways in which individuals and communities deal ‘subjectively’ with death. It reconstructs how the sudden ‘breaking in’ of death as it occurs during …
Growing Income Inequality in the United States and Other Advanced Economies
This paper studies the contribution of both labor and non-labor income in the growth in income inequality in the United States and large European economies. The paper first shows that the capital to labor income ratio disproportionately increased among high-earnings individuals, further contributing to the growth in overall income inequality. That said, the magnitude of this effect is modest, and the predominant driver of the growth in income ine…
Counter-disciplining the Dual Agenda
This article charts the trajectory of the interdisciplinary study of International Law (IL) and International Relations (IR), (re-)assessing how this interdisciplinarity has been framed within each discipline. It reflects on the different ways ahead that rise from these positions, suggesting an as yet little explored path which begins with a meta-theoretical conversation on the very terms of IR/IL interdisciplinarity
Taxing Externalities Under Financing Constraints
We consider an economy where production generates externalities, which can be reduced by additional firm level expenditures. This requires firms to raise outside financing, leading to deadweight loss due to a standard agency problem vis-à-vis outside investors. Policy is constrained as firms are privately informed about their marginal cost of avoiding externalities. We first derive the optimal linear pollution tax, which is strictly lower than th…
International Legalism and International Politics
This chapter attempts to measure the gap between law and politics, in a recapitulation of where the liberal project of international law stands, as framed within the tensions evident in the international lawyers’ professional preference for legal objectivism and political agnosticism and, on the other hand, their equally professional unwillingness to openly admit to this preference. Legalism represents that gap, yet it is curiously everywhere and…
The Oxford Handbook of the Theory of International Law
This Oxford handbook explores key questions and debates in international legal theory, offering new intellectual histories for the discipline, and providing fresh interpretations of significant historical figures, texts, and theoretical approaches.

A Community College Instructor Like Me
Administrative data from a large and diverse community college are used to examine if underrepresented minority students benefit from taking courses with underrepresented minority instructors. To identify racial interactions, we estimate models that include both student and classroom fixed effects and focus on students with limited choice in courses. We find that the performance gap in terms of class dropout rates and grade performance between wh…
A transplantabilidade jurídica em matéria de Direitos Humanos
O artigo analisa a literatura sobre os transplantes jurídicos a fim de conceituar a transplantabilidade dos direitos humanos. Discute os desafios que normas públicas como direitos humanos, enraizadas nos sistemas jurídicos e sociais de cada pais, enfrentam em relação à transplantação, e aponta para uma possível solução no conceito de 'irritantes legais' desenvolvido no âmbito da teoria sistêmica do direito por Gunther Teubner na base dos escritos…
The Cambridge Companion to Human Rights Law
Human rights are considered one of the big ideas of the early twenty-first century. This book presents in an authoritative and readable form the variety of platforms on which human rights law is practiced today, reflecting also on the dynamic inter-relationships that exist between these various levels. The collection has a critical edge. The chapters engage with how human rights law has developed in its various subfields, what (if anything) has b…
A Voice for Human Rights
Fostering Human Rights Accountability
In recent years, the UN has assumed a widening scope of responsibilities and has gradually been transformed from an intergovernmental organization to a global governance mechanism with an ever greater direct impact on individuals. This entails that the UN is also, in principle, capable of violating human rights and occasionally does so in different operational contexts. While this has raised demands for greater UN accountability, Hoffmann and Még…
