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, including their relationship with the state. He has a particular interest 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; and the ways in which international law exacerbates and/or responds to human vulnerability, disenfranchisement and inequality. Andrew's current project is "Everywhere and Nowhere: The Transnational Corporation in the Global Legal Order". He teaches and supervises in the areas of international law and global governance, including human rights, political economy, technology and the law, and globalisation.
