Andrew’s research explores structural questions of international law and global governance, with a current focus on the role, regulation and responsibility of global private actors. He is also interested 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.
