mission
ANNUAL REPORT
The Institute for Global Law and Policy (IGLP) at Harvard Law School is a collaborative faculty effort to nurture
innovative approaches to global policy in the face of a legal and institutional architecture manifestly illequipped to address our most urgent global challenges. Global poverty, conflict, injustice and inequality are
also legal and institutional regimes. The IGLP explores the ways in which they are reproduced and what might
be done in response. Scholars associated with the Institute are working to understand and map the levers of
political, economic and legal authority in the world today. The Institute focuses on young scholars and policy
makers who bring new ideas and perspectives to comparative and international legal research and policy. The
IGLP aims to facilitate the emergence of a creative dialogue among young experts from around the world,
strengthening our global capacity for innovation and cooperative research. We aim to provide a platform at
Harvard for new thinking about international legal and institutional arrangements, with particular emphasis
on ideas and issues of importance to the global South.
research agenda
The Institute is an international collaborative project to foster research and policy dialogue about the
structure and potential for global governance and international law affecting pressing issues of global
regulation and policy. The Institute aims to foster innovative approaches to global policy and political
economy, and new thinking about international legal and institutional arrangements.
At the IGLP, we are convinced that governance is not only rules, institutions and procedures. Ideas also
matter. If for a generation everyone thinks an “economy” is an input output mechanism to be managed, and
then suddenly everyone thinks an economy is a market for allocating resources to their most efficient use in
the shadow of a price system, a great deal has changed. That is also governance. At the IGLP, we encourage
research into the genealogy of governance ideas as they have played out in the fields of international law,
international economic law, regulatory policy, human rights and development policy.
All of our academic programming is designed to support our research agenda, starting with our signature
IGLP Doha Workshop for young scholars, and continuing through opportunities for Workshop alumni and
IGLP scholars to build collaborative teams, deepen their thinking and develop research for publication
through multiyear participation in our various conferences and other program formats. We also aim to
provide a framework at Harvard for students and faculty interested in pursuing innovative and heterodox
research on foundational questions of theory and history as well as pressing issues of global policy.
We seek to engage the policy community and to sponsor important transnational dialogue. In recent years,
we have convened policy-makers and scholars in Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Thailand, Russia and China, as well
as in the United States to engage with our ongoing research activities. We regularly convene international
research teams for on‐site investigations of policy directions and experience, through site visits and
discussions with policy makers, often followed by an academic conference reflecting a first cut on the findings
of the research inquiry.

the institute
the network
The IGLP encourages academic collaboration and progressive research to nurture alternative ideas about
international law, society, and political economy. We have developed a global network of scholars and policy
makers who share our belief that ideas matter, and we have a commitment to cultivating a space for new
voices and viewpoints to emerge around ideas about global governance, social justice and economic policy.
Our common goal is to better understand how power is exercised in the world today, and how original and
critical thinking can transform the ways in which policy experts, intellectual leaders and citizens understand
our common global situation.
More than 500 young scholars from more than 50 countries are alumni of our intensive Workshop. Well over
1000 young scholars have joined our online network and participate in our research activities.
ANNUAL REPORT
The IGLP network portal on our website is designed to strengthen that network and to assist all those who
share our critical impulse and concern about the ideas which govern our world to share new ideas, events,
research, and experiences with others in the field. This space is designed to be a haven of collaboration and
sharing, all with the purpose of advancing global governance thinking and ideas.
Members of the IGLP community are encouraged to reach out to one another to share their work, syllabi and
their ideas through the Network News, New Thinking/New Writing, Events of Interest, or Working Papers
sections of our website. The community connects with each other by posting on IGLP’s Facebook, following us
on Twitter and by signing up to receive our bimonthly e-newsletter.
scholarly resources
Fellowship Program
The Fellowship Program offers full or partial student and post‐doctoral fellowship support to a small
number of scholars pursuing research in areas related to the IGLP’s ongoing work. Applicants considered for
Fellowships are those whose work is challenging, original and focused on progressive and alternative ideas
about global law and policy. Often, work of this nature is not supported by mainstream institutional resources,
and the IGLP strives to give opportunities for diverse ideas to flourish. IGLP Fellows are integral members of
the Institute and provide valuable programming insight and assistance with the execution of our conferences
and workshops. The number of Fellowships awarded each year depends upon the available funding.
Visiting Researchers Program
The IGLP accommodates a small number of Visiting Researchers and Visiting Scholars each academic year,
funded by outside sources. Visiting Researchers and Scholars apply to do research at Harvard Law School for
periods of three months to one year. In making selections, the Institute considers the applicant’s background,
field of interest, scholarly achievements, availability of Harvard Law School faculty for consultation in the
proposed research area, and English language proficiency. Applicants should have completed their basic legal
studies with high academic standing.
5
Applicants at a relatively senior stage of their professional career may be designated Visiting Scholars. This designation is
made on the basis of the nature of the applicant’s proposal, the expected duration of their research, and prior academic
experience. Visiting Scholar applicants are required to be affiliated with a university, research institute or governmental
program in their home country.
Collaborative Research Grants
Our Collaborative Research Grant Program provides modest funding to small groups of young scholars who are seeking
to carry out substantive research on projects related to the core research mission of the Institute. The IGLP encourages the
development of progressive and alternative ideas about international law, society and political economy by supporting
provocative and challenging intellectual work that might not otherwise find support from mainstream institutional
resources.
Travel Grants
The IGLP provides modest research and travel support to a small number of scholars conducting research in areas closely
related to the IGLP’s ongoing work. Applications are open to current Harvard Law School students and alumni of The
Workshop. We hope to encourage focus on the life of the mind, on interdisciplinary reading, and on developing the
intellectual background to understand and contribute to critical analyses of global law and social justice. Preference is given
to current doctoral students and awards are limited to students who have been invited to present their scholarly work at
academic conferences.
Doha - Santander Research Grants
The Doha - Santander Grants Program is generously supported by our Leading Sponsor, Santander Universities, to aid
research by the IGLP Doha Workshop alumni and faculty pursuing innovative scholarship. Preference is given to work
aiming to revitalize the Arab and Islamic traditions of law and governance and engaging issues of comparative law, global
law, and policy in Qatar, the Middle East, and North African Region. The grants are intended to further the dialogue which
begun at the January IGLP Workshop through long-term research collaboration.

Visa International, Inc.
Visa is a global payments technology company that connects consumers, businesses, banks and
governments in more than 200 countries and territories, enabling them to use digital currency instead
of cash and checks. Visa has built one of the world’s most advanced processing networks. It’s capable of handling more
than 20,000 transactions per second, with reliability, convenience and security, including fraud protection for consumers
and guaranteed payment for merchants. Visa does not issue cards, extend credit or set rates and fees for consumers. Visa’s
innovations, however, enable its bank customers to offer consumers more choices: Pay now with debit, ahead of time
with prepaid or later with credit products. In fact, approximately 70 percent of Visa payment transactions in the United
States are debit and prepaid, not credit. Governments here and abroad have switched to digital currency instead of checks
for benefits payments and purchasing in order to increase efficiency and lower costs, saving taxpayers money. From the
world’s major cities to remote areas without banks, people are increasingly relying on digital currency along with mobile
technology to use their money any time, make purchases online, transfer funds across borders and access basic financial
services — all of which makes their lives easier and grows economies. To obtain more information on Visa International, visit

The Workshop
ANNUAL REPORT
Held in Doha, Qatar each January, the Workshop is an intensive residential program designed for doctoral
and post-doctoral scholars and junior faculty. Sponsored by the Qatar Foundation and hosted by Hamad bin
Khalifa University, the Workshop brings together more than 100 young scholars and more than 50 senior
and junior faculty from around the world for serious research collaboration and debate. While in residence
in Doha, participants review current scholarly developments, reconsider canonical texts and network with
colleagues from across the world. Our aim is to strengthen the next generation of scholars by placing them in
collaboration with their global peers as they develop innovative ideas and alternative approaches to issues of
global law, economic policy, social justice and governance. Intensive writing workshops offer participants the
opportunity to receive valuable feedback on their own research from their peers and more senior colleagues
in small group settings. More than 500 young scholars from over 50 countries count themselves as alumni of
the Workshop.
The Pro-Seminars
Pro-seminars are designed for small groups of scholars engaged in collaboration aimed towards publication.
They bring together between ten and fifteen scholars by invitation and application, to work on a common
topic. They typically meet in June at Harvard to brainstorm their evolving scholarly writing and advance their
work towards publication. Pro-seminars are typically convened by senior Harvard Law School or IGLP faculty.
The June 2014 Pro-seminar was entitled “The Role of Law in Structures of Global Production,” and explored
the role of law in the construction, operation and governance of global value chains and production networks.
The Colloquium
Each June, we convene a Colloquium at Harvard for invited IGLP Faculty, Docents and guests to strengthen
our work through intensive discussion and engagement with leading scholars from other disciplines. Each
year’s Colloquium pursues a common theme across a range of research fields. In 2012, the Colloquium focused
on the political economy of the modern global order. In 2013, we focused on questions of method raised by
the effort to think vertically about the relationship between global and local, macro and micro; and to think
horizontally about comparison and differentiation among local or national arrangements. The goal of the 2014
Colloquium was to engage in a cross-disciplinary conversation about the mechanics of stability and change
within and across fields.
The Conference
In 2013, our first international conference at Harvard brought together over 350 scholars working on
innovative approaches to global governance, social justice and economic policy for two days of scholarly
exchange. The IGLP Conference will be held every other June at Harvard Law School and is open to all those
who are interested in pursuing new thinking about law and global policy, including those who are new to
our network as well as IGLP alumni and friends. Our aim is to provide an ongoing opportunity for scholars
connected to the Institute to return to Cambridge to present their research, to reconnect with peers from
across the globe, and to find new opportunities for collaborative research with other innovative scholars. We
will host our second conference in June 2015 at Harvard.

Workshops and Conferences
The IGLP regularly sponsors conferences and workshops, ranging from informal events at the Harvard Faculty Club to large
meetings convening over 100 scholars in Cambridge and Doha, Qatar for intensive discussion. Our most important annual
events take place in January and June.
Policy Roundtables
The IGLP periodically sponsors policy roundtables, ranging in duration from one to three days, concerning specific issues
important to one or more of the IGLP’s constituencies, in which participants from industry, the practicing profession,
government, and academia discuss topics of common interest in a relaxed setting. In recent years, we have held Policy
Roundtables in China, Spain and Russia as well as Harvard on topics ranging from new approaches to regulation in
developing economies to financial inclusion and new conceptions of international law.
Student Initiatives
The IGLP supports activities organized and led by doctoral students and Visiting Researchers at Harvard Law School.
Students often prepare presentations based on their current research or invite smaller groups of students to informal
discussions. These formats facilitate ongoing debate about a selection of themes of interest to both IGLP and students and
scholars associated with our ongoing work. We regularly provide support for student groups at the school pursuing projects
related to our research mandate.
Lectures and Informal Seminars
During the academic year, the IGLP sponsors a variety of lectures and informal seminars in which faculty and professional
scholars share ongoing research in the areas of global law and policy. These events, which are generally open to all
members of the Harvard community, aim to bring the best new thinking about global law and policy to the community for
discussion and debate.

the workshop
From January 3-11, 2014, the IGLP held its 5th annual Workshop in Doha, as part of our collaboration with
the Qatar Foundation. The Workshop was generously hosted by Hamad bin Khalifa University (HBKU), a
member of the Qatar Foundation. This year’s Workshop convened 164 People, including faculty, docents and
participants, representing 50 countries and 101 Universities. Qatar offered a perfect location for convening
scholars from countries outside the North Atlantic area, allowing us to focus on recent developments in the
region and to benefit from synergies with intellectual and cultural activities already underway in Education
City.
ANNUAL REPORT
At the 2014 Workshop we continued our tradition of seeking new ways of deepening the network of
collaboration among our Workshop Alumni, and we also invigorated our core program with new participants
and themes. We hosted a new group of IGLP alumni Docents, each of whom assisted with the organization
of a Workshop Stream or convened a Writing Workshop. We also continued our program for Young Policy
Professionals (YPP), designed for young professionals from Qatar and the surrounding region who have an
interest in sharing their ideas with global academic peers.
The Workshop again focused on a series of substantive Streams. Exploration of each Stream was led by a team
of junior and senior scholars, and was designed to promote discussion of recent scholarly trends and policy
problems, as well as classical texts. In 2014 our new themes included: the role of corporate power in global
society, the relationships among science, technology, and political power in contemporary societies, and
theoretical approaches to plural economic governance. We continued our efforts to stimulate new thinking
about the legal foundations of global monetary affairs, economic development policy, global political
economy and the struggle for social, political and economic justice. As an extension of the core curriculum the
Workshop also featured guest speakers and panel discussions.

ANNUAL REPORT
In June 2014, the IGLP convened its 5th annual residential program at Harvard Law School. From June 2 - 3
we convened three Research Conferences and hosted 16 IGLP Collaborative Research Teams. From June 4-6
we convened our annual Colloquium along with a new IGLP Pro-Seminar. The Conferences and Pro-Seminars
were designed to showcase the new thinking about law and global policy among our network of IGLP
alumni and friends. The Collaborative Research Groups provided an opportunity for scholars connected to
the Institute to return to Cambridge to present their research, reconnect with peers from across the globe,
and find new opportunities for collaborative research with other innovative scholars. IGLP’s June 2014 events
demonstrated the breadth of scholarship developed by members of the IGLP network and showcased
ongoing and new research projects by IGLP alumni and faculty. The events brought together more than 263
scholars from over 64 countries and 141 Universities. We convened over 154 Academic Sessions on topics
ranging from current thinking in the field of Islamic Law and Policy, to exploring the notion of “corporate
power.” Harvard Faculty members participated in many of the panels and served as moderators, including
David Kennedy, Janet Halley, Sheila Jasanoff and Duncan Kennedy.
The three June 2-3 Conferences included:
Corporate Power in Global Society: Explication, Critique, Engagement, and Resistance, which interrogated
the nature, structure, and effects of corporate power, convened by Grietje Baars (The Netherlands) The City
Law School, City University of London; Dan Danielsen, (United States) Northeastern University School of Law;
Dennis Davis (South Africa) Judge, High Court of Cape Town; Andre Spicer (United Kingdom) Cass Business
School, City University of London.
Heterodox Approaches to Islamic Law and Policy, which compared critical and comparative methodologies
and approaches to Islamic law and jurisprudence, and explored topics including Islamic legal history, family
law, and finance, convened by: Cyra Akila Choudhury, (United States) Florida International University and Vanja
Hamzić (Bosnia and Herzegovina) SOAS, University of London.
Global Legal Thought: The Legacies of Heterodoxy, which compared the development and reception
of heterodoxy in legal thought in various regions and legal traditions. This conference also offered the
opportunity to reflect comparatively on Duncan Kennedy’s contributions to American and global legal thought
in anticipation of his retirement in 2015, convened by: David Kennedy (United States) Harvard Law School and
Mikhail Xifaras (France) The Sciences Po Law School.

The June 2014 Pro-Seminar
IGLP Pro-Seminars are designed for small groups of scholars engaged in collaboration aimed towards publication. From
June 4-6, 2014 the IGLP convened a Pro-seminar on The Role of Law in Structures of Global Production. Over the course
of three days the group met to discuss and explore the role of law in the construction, operation and governance of global
value chains and production networks: structures that have been theorized by sociologists and political economists to
map the disaggregated modes of production that comprise much of modern global capitalism. Participants examined how
diverse local, national, regional, international and transnational legal regimes, together with cultural norms and business
practices, shape the expectations, background entitlements, institutional forms and bargaining positions of various players
in global production networks. The group considered how those legal entitlements and normative expectations interact
with material factors of production to produce particular forms of commercial relations as well as particular attributions
of power and value creation. Finally, the group explored how those legal rules and norms come to shape value chain
governance, including the allocation of economic surplus and power, as well as the perceived limits of possible regulatory
interventions to distribute rents more equitably or to reduce adverse externalities that result from a networked organization
of production.
The Pro-Seminar was organized by: Grietje Baars (The Netherlands) The City Law School, City University London, Dan
Danielsen (United States) Northeastern University School of Law, Dennis Davis (South Africa) Judge, High Court of Cape
Town, Jason Jackson (The Bahamas) Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and Brishen Rogers (United States) Temple
University Beasley School of Law.

The June 2014 Colloquium
The 2014 Colloquium, Does Heterodoxy Have a Politics? A Method? explored the history and contemporary
potential for heterodox and critical approaches to scholarly work in the social sciences and law. The 2014 IGLP
Colloquium was convened by IGLP Faculty Director David Kennedy (United States) Harvard Law School.
Launched in 2012, the IGLP Colloquium, held each June at Harvard, is designed to offer IGLP Core Faculty,
Docents and guests an opportunity to strengthen their work through intensive discussion and engagement
with leading scholars from other disciplines. Each year’s Colloquium pursues a common theme across a range
of research fields.
ANNUAL REPORT
The goal of the 2014 Colloquium was to engage in a cross-disciplinary conversation about the mechanics of
stability and change within and across fields. What is a heterodox intervention in anthropology, international
relations, history, law, or economics? How has the history of critique differed in each field? What are the
politics of heterodoxy in each field? Is there a method or many methods associated with a heterodox
approach? What have been the game-changing moments, politically and intellectually, for each field? Our
guest speakers included experts in several fields as well as IGLP Core Faculty and alumni.

How the Law Responds to Unique Catastrophes:
Personal Reflections When it Comes to Tragic Choices
Harvard Law School, April 1, 2014 On April 1, at the Harvard Law School, the IGLP
along with the Program on Science, Technology and
Society at the Harvard Kennedy School co-sponsored
a talk by Ken Feinberg who offered personal
reflections on how he became an expert in managing
compensation in unique catastrophes. He spoke of
the issues he has faced in achieving a sense of justice
in the aftermath of tragedy through his various roles
and appointments, including serving as Special
Master of the U.S. government’s September 11th
Victim Compensation Fund, Special Master for TARP
Executive Compensation, and as the governmentappointed administrator of the BP Deepwater
Horizon Disaster Victim Compensation Fund.
Technological Visions and Revisions: An STS
Workshop
Harvard Kennedy School, April 4, 2014 On April 4, 2014 the IGLP co-hosted this workshop at
the Harvard Kennedy School, which drew together
several strands of current research on socio-technical
imaginaries in the Program on Science, Technology
and Society at the Harvard Kennedy School. Through
multiple engagements with new, emerging, and
reemerging technologies, the workshop explored
the material, discursive, and political resources with
which societies create shared visions of what they
want, or do not want, from advances in technology.
Of primary interest throughout was the connection
of remembered techno-scientific pasts to the threats
and promises of imagined futures. Alfred Nordmann,
from the Technical University of Darmstadt, delivered
the keynote address entitled “Beyond Conservation Revisioning Critiques of Technological Reason.”
Unbound: This Land is Your Land: Remaking Property
after Neoliberalism
Harvard Law School, April 5, 2014 On, April 5, 2014 at Harvard Law School, the IGLP
co-sponsored a day-long conference with the student
journal “Unbound: The Harvard Journal of the Legal
Left,” entitled, “This Land is Your Land: Remaking
29
Property After Neoliberalism.” Participants critiqued
the property regime that enables the neoliberal
order and collectively explored how property law
can be re-oriented to promote social flourishing over
the needs of capital. Presenters included Harvard
Law School Professor Duncan Kennedy and Professor
Rashmi Dyal-Chand from Northeastern University
School of Law.
Critical Perspectives on Human Rights
Harvard Law School, April 8, 2014 On April 8, 2014, at Harvard Law School, the Human
Rights Program and the IGLP co-sponsored an
event on “Critical Perspectives on Human Rights,”
as part of a series to foster discussion around
human rights practices and concepts. The event
featured Jeanne Charn, a Senior Lecturer on Law
at Harvard Law School, in conversation with Meera
Shah, who is a Clinical Advocacy Fellow at the
Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School. The
discussion focused on comparing and contrasting
the methodologies of international human rights
advocacy projects and projects involving direct client
representation. In particular, it explored how these
different approaches to legal work address the ethical
and pedagogical questions involved in navigating
power dynamics, informed consent, and connection
to affected communities.
The Modern American Right’s Thinking About
Expertise: Taxonomy and Reflections
Harvard Law School, April 9, 2014
On April 9, 2014, the IGLP along with the Program
on Science, Technology and Society at the Harvard
Kennedy School co-sponsored a talk by Boston
College Professor Ken Kersh on “The Modern
American Right’s Thinking About Expertise:
Taxonomy and Reflections.” In his recent work,
Professor Kersch has sought to demonstrate the ways
in which modern American conservatism’s cultivation
of a core set of symbolic commitments (e.g., the U.S.
Constitution) and historical narratives (e.g., about
the meanings of the Founding, the Civil War, and
the Progressive Era) bridge these divides, unifying
and motivating the movement in ways missed by
political theory’s standard analytic frames. In his talk, he
considered the possibility that critiques of, and stories
about, science and experts, and their role in the modern
regulatory/administrative/social welfare state – what others
have variously called the “statutory,” “legislative,” or “policy”
state – have been a critical component of this set of unifying
narratives and symbols.
Harvard Law School Brazilian Studies Association event

Harvard Law School, April 11, 2014
On April 11, 2014, the IGLP co-sponsored an event with
Brazilian Studies Association which featured Daniel

co-hosted a two-day interdisciplinary workshop focused
on Science, Identity, and Ethnicity. Participants sought to
understand the extent genetic sciences have expanded or
circumscribed the ways of authorizing ethnic and national
belonging. How has research in population genetics and
human biogeography affected legal and political rights to
citizenship, and territorial disputes? Are biological sciences,
technologies, and society entangled to the point of being
co-produced, and if so in what ways? The symposium
tackled these questions from a global perspective, with the
hope of fostering dialogue across disciplinary divides and
geographical regions. Nadia Abu El-Haj, Associate Professor
of Anthropology at Barnard College & Columbia University
delivered the keynote address entitled “The Nature of
Politics.”
Prosecutions, Politics and Transitions
Durham Law School (UK), May 6, 2014
On May 6, 2014, the IGLP co-supported this event with
the Centre for Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, Law
and Global Justice, and Islam, Law and Modernity. This
conference addressed the question of the prosecution of
political leaders in the Arab region, with a focus on four
countries whose leaders were ousted during the Arab
Spring uprisings: Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Yemen. As much
of the transitional justice literature is currently heavy on
analyses of the Latin American experience, panelists also
considered that region’s varied experiences with transitional
justice since the 1970’s. Panelists included: Elin Skaar (Senior
Researcher, Chr. Michelsen Institute), Moataz El Fegiry,
(former Executive Director, Cairo Institute for Human Rights
Studies, SOAS Law School), Elham Saudi (Director, Lawyers
for Justice in Libya), Greta Barbone (Senior Associate,
International Justice Programme, No Peace Without Justice),
and Khaled Fattah, (Guest Lecturer, Centre for Middle East
Studies, Lund University and non-resident scholar on
Yemen, Carnegie Middle East Center).

Rethinking Law and Finance in the Global Economy
This project, organized by Christine Desan (United States) Harvard Law School, of our Advisory Council,
focuses on the lessons of heterodox and institutionalist traditions in both economic and legal science for
understanding global political economy in the aftermath of the crisis. We are particularly interested in the
relationships among private law, private ordering, national regulation, and opportunities for multilateral
governance or coordination. We are exploring the significance of disarticulation and intended inefficiencies
in global systems in avoiding systemic risk – when introduced both within the transnational governance of
private financial institutions and through regulation. The project focuses on the legal structure of money,
credit, and financial liquidity. It considers capital dynamics as a matter engineered over time by different
government, non‐governmental organizations and private actors, paying particular attention to the ways in
which capital dynamics cross borders, studying the domestic and global dimensions of capital dynamics in
tandem. During the 2012-2013 academic year, we co-sponsored a graduate student-faculty research seminar
on Financial Capitalism, which focused on the structures of finance and money, with an eye towards the
financial crisis.
ANNUAL REPORT
Expertise and Governance
This project aims to strengthen research linking efforts to understand the role of expertise in global
governance among IGLP scholars with parallel work undertaken in the Science and Technology Studies
field. The focal point for collaboration has been a series of lectures, research workshops, and an inter-faculty
reading group organized by IGLP Director David Kennedy (United States) Harvard Law School, and Sheila
Jasanoff (United States) Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Questions under discussion include: Who
are experts, whom do they represent, what are the sources of their authority, and how can expertise be held
accountable? What kinds of institutions employ expertise, and what are the organizational characteristics
of such institutions? How does the growing global reliance on experts affect the quality, effectiveness, and
accountability of public policy and governance? Through readings and/or presentations from several fields—
including law, anthropology, history, sociology, and science and technology studies—the reading group
considers the ways expertise is defined, constituted, challenged, defended, or defeated in contemporary
societies. The research initiative is supported by a seminar jointly taught by Jasanoff and Kennedy at Harvard
Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. each spring.
Global Genealogy of Family Laws
The rise of colonialism, capitalism, liberalism, modernity, and nationalism across much of the world was
strongly inflected by the idea that legal and social life divides naturally into two opposite orders – the market
and the family. The idea was that the market was or should be governed by contract law that would ideally
be uniform across the world and that would enable contracts giving effect to the will of the parties; while the
family was or should be governed by family law that gave effect to the spirit of each national people and that
enforced interpersonal duties. The idea is so pervasive that it seems inevitable that commercial law will be
uniform and western everywhere and that family life, gender and sexuality will be local and “different.” It also
is so structural that it helps to explain how political economy imagines itself to encompass everything crucial
about global governance while chronically “forgetting” the family, gender and sexuality. This IGLP project, led
by Harvard Law School professor Janet Halley (United States), seeks to compare the spread of this idea and its
various implementations across the world, both in the formation of colonial relations and in the breakdown of
the colonial system. We believe that by understanding it genealogically and comparatively, we can better pry
away the glue fixing us to it even today.

Global Poverty and Heterodox Development Pathways: Mapping, Method and Critique
This Project, which is led by Harvard Law Professor Lucie White and Sciences Po Law Professor Jeremy Perelman, is a
collaborative effort among critical law and development scholars to present, map, and critique alternative development
pathways that are emerging in the confused phase of the post-Washington Consensus. The initiative was launched as a
Pro-Seminar in 2012 where members of the group presented short papers that tease out the methodological features of
their respective approaches, as well as the distributional effects of the developmental pathways that they identify. In May
2014 The IGLP and Sciences Po Law School co-sponsored a Workshop in Paris, France, May 17-19, 2014 as part of our ongoing
research project on Global Poverty and Heterodox Development Pathways. This workshop explored emerging ideas about
organizing political economies that push back against global inequalities. Participants examined such emerging ideas in
sectors of contemporary global political economies, such as finance, agriculture, industrial organization, supranational
governance, political movement, and critique.
Bandung and the Global South: 60 Years of Transformative International Law
The Bandung Conference of April 1955 brought together twenty-five countries to oppose colonialism and neocolonialism
and develop forms of political, economic and cultural cooperation across the Third World. The legacies of the Bandung
Conference have long reach within critical traditions in international law. This project brings together scholars who have
been influenced by the Bandung Conference and seeks to provide an opportunity for them to reflect on the legacies of
the conference that animate their work today and the ways they can think about alternative futures going forward. There
are many intersecting and overlapping conversations that Bandung inspires amongst critical international law scholars.
Some contributions will provide more historical analysis on the conference and its milieu; others will focus on more
contemporary themes that resonate with Bandung’s legacies of South-South cooperation and anti-imperialism. Some
ground their interventions in Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL); others may locate it within the many
spaces after nationalism in their countries. The project has been defined quite broadly to enable a range of different kinds
of contributions with the goal of producing a scholarly volume for publication. This project has been organized by Vasuki
Nesiah (United States) Harvard Law School, of our Academic Council, with the support of IGLP Docents Luis Eslava (Australia)
University of Melbourne Law School), and Michael Fakhri (Canada) University of Oregon School of Law. The members of this
project convened a series of meeting at Harvard Law School in June 2014.
Heterodox Approaches to Islamic Law and Policy
This project, which is led by Cyra Akila Choudhury (United States) Florida International University College of Law, and Vanja
Hamzić (Bosnia and Herzegovina) University of London, and advised by Harvard Law Professor Intisar Rabb (United States),
explores current thinking in the field of Islamic Law and Policy. Specifically, it brings together a diverse group of established
and emerging scholars to share critical and comparative methodologies and approaches to Islamic law and jurisprudence.
Scholars from law, history, political science, anthropology, economics, and other social sciences share research on topics
including Islamic legal thought, legal history, family law, finance, and the arts. The organizers of this project convened a
two-day conference at Harvard Law School in June 2014.

Corporate Power in Global Society: Explication, Critique, Engagement, and Resistance
ANNUAL REPORT
This project, convened by Dan Danielsen (United States) Northeastern University School of Law, Dennis Davis
(South Africa) High Court of Cape Town, and Jason Jackson (United States) Wharton School, University of
Pennsylvania), explores the role of law in the construction, operation and governance of global value chains
and production networks: structures that have been theorized by sociologists and political economists to map
the disaggregated modes of production that comprise much of modern global capitalism. Research is focused
on examining how diverse local, national, regional, international and transnational legal regimes, together
with cultural norms and business practices, shape the expectations, background entitlements, institutional
forms and bargaining positions of various players in global production networks. Taken into consideration are
how legal entitlements and normative expectations interact with material factors of production to produce
particular forms of commercial relations as well as particular attributions of power and value creation. The
group also explores how those legal rules and norms come to shape value chain governance, including the
allocation of economic surplus and power, as well as the perceived limits of possible regulatory interventions
to distribute rents more equitably or to reduce adverse externalities that result from a networked organization
of production. The organizers of this project convened a two-day conference as well as a Pro-Seminar at
Harvard Law School in June 2014.
Project on Global Financial Regulation and Financial Inclusion
This project, supported by IGLP’s Leading Sponsor, VISA International, encompassed inquiries into three
related areas: liquidity in the global economy, including foundational research on the nature of global
liquidity and capital as legal institutions; financial inclusion and banking services for the “unbanked” as an
aspect of development policy; financial service regulation in emerging markets and alternative paths to
economic development. Through a series of sponsored student and faculty research projects and public
policy discussions we sought to develop a transnational research network of young scholars and IGLP faculty
working on research themes related to global financial regulation. The initiative’s inaugural event was a policy
workshop on March 30, 2012, which brought scholars from the IGLP network into sustained conversation with
high-level government officials and industry representatives. In August 2012, the IGLP convened a research
mission and workshop in Bangkok focused on new financial services regulation and development strategies in
the emerging markets of the ASEAN region. In 2012 and 2013, the initiative sponsored a competitive research
grant program for young scholars.
The Next Left – The Challenges and Opportunities for Social Democratic Politics in a Global Economy
This project, which we are co-sponsoring with Dr. Alfred Gusenbauer (Former Chancellor of Austria) of our
Honorary Council, encourages dialogue among those rethinking the politics of the left after globalization in
various regions of the world, with a particular emphasis on the dynamics within Europe and between Europe
and Latin America. The IGLP convened a meeting of the group at Harvard Law School in April 2012. On May
10 -11, 2013, the IGLP co-sponsored the policy roundtable, “Next Left: Framing a New Narrative”, in Barcelona,
Spain. The event explored topics such as restoring a sense of politics, distinguishing modern progressivism,
and building a welfare society. IGLP will cosponsor a further exploration of these themes in 2014.
37
Law and the New Developmental State
Law and the New Developmental State was a collaborative faculty project led by IGLP Advisory Council Member David
Trubek that sought to examine the modern revival of the developmental state. This project, co-sponsored with the
network on Law and the New Developmental State (LANDS) explored relations between the legal order and new state
policies in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. As part of this initiative the IGLP co-sponsored a seminar and research
mission to Brazil in July 2013 which explored the emerging forms of new state activism in Brazil and elsewhere. In July
2013, research done for the LANDS initiative resulted in the publication of “Law and the New Developmental State: The
Brazilian Experience in Latin American Context“. The project was spear-headed by David Trubek (United States) University
of Wisconsin, in conjunction with other IGLP alumni including Diogo Coutinho (Brazil) University of São Paulo Law School,
Mario Schapiro (Brazil) Fundação Getulio Vargas/São Paulo Law School, Shunko Rojas (Argentina) Harvard Law School, Alvaro
Santos (Mexico) Georgetown Law School), Michelle Ratton Sanchez Badin (Brazil) Fundação Getulio Vargas/ São Paulo Law
School), and Helena Alviar Garcia (Colombia) Universidad de los Andes Law School. The book explores the emergence of a
new developmental state in Latin America and its significance for law and development theory.

collaborative research grants
The IGLP Collaborative Research Grant Program is designed to provide modest funding to small groups of
young scholars seeking to carry out substantive research on projects related to the core research mission of
the IGLP. Through the Research Grants Program, we seek to facilitate innovative group research and writing
projects in these fields, and to deepen collaboration among our network of Harvard Law School graduate
students, IGLP Workshop alumni, and IGLP faculty. These Grants are designed for small teams of two or more
scholars. Preference is given to groups whose ideas or projects emerged out of the IGLP’s Workshop.

Global Art Law and Cultural Property: Productions of Value
Convener: Vivek Kanwar (United States) Jindal Global Law School.
ANNUAL REPORT
Contributors: Deval Desai (United Kingdom), Harvard Law School; Yugank Goyal (India) University of Hamburg;
Priya Gupta (United States) Southwestern Law School; Richard Lehun (Canada) McGill University; Lucas Lixinski
(Brazil) University of New South Wales; James Parker (United Kingdom) Melbourne Law School; and Jonathan
Walz (United States) Rollins College.
Description: If the art market were a country, it would be the 67th largest country in the world by GDP, and yet
there is little understanding of the production of value in art practice and its legal regulation. This project will
explore the potential for new methodologies to contribute to art law: from critical legal studies, science and
technology studies, law and economics, archaeology, legal aesthetics, and value-chain analyses.
Indicators as Political Spaces
Convener: Rene Urueña (Colombia) Universidad de Los Andes.
Contributors: Dawood Ahmed (United Kingdom) University of Chicago; Siobhan Airey (Ireland) University of
Ottawa; Lina Buchely (Colombia) Universidad de Los Andes; Marie Guimezanes (France) Toulouse 1 Capitole
University; Marta Infantino (Italy) University of Trieste; Jothie Rajah (Singapore) American Bar Foundation; and
Michael Riegner (Germany) New York University School of Law.
Description: Since the early 1990s, indicators have played an important role in reshaping governance,
policy, and the parameters of law. In exploring the new political spaces that are opened up by qualitative
technologies of governance, this group will examine how indicators are used to perpetuate, shift, or resist
power relations, and to achieve or prevent social change. Is global power experienced differently if it is
exercised through an indicator? Does the emphasis on numbers take attention away from context, history, and
questions of power?
39
International Legal Structuralism
Convener: Justin Desautels-Stein (United States) University of Colorado Law School.
Contributors: Paulo Barrozo (United States) Boston College Law School; Arnulf Becker (Chile) Brown University; and Akbar
Rasulov (Uzbekistan) University of Glasgow.
Description: This research initiative will re-examine the works of international legal scholarship influenced by “structuralism”
from the 1980s forward (David Kennedy’s “International Legal Structures” and Martti Koskenniemi’s “From Apology
to Utopia”. The group will meet at New York University in the fall of 2014 to explore the current application of legal
structuralism in international legal scholarship, now a generation later. The group aims to produce an edited volume for
publication.
Legal Education on International Public Law: Rethinking the Latin American Experience
Convener: Paola Acosta (Colombia) Universidad Externado de Colombia.
Contributors: Laura Betancur (Colombia) Universidad de Los Andes; Enrique Prieto Rios (Colombia) Birkbeck, University of
London; and Jimena Sierra (Colombia) Universidad del Rosario.
Description: This project aims to build a working academic platform in Latin America for the promotion of interdisciplinary
and critical teaching of Public International Law. Although Latin America has long been a source of intellectual and political
innovation in international law, the contemporary scholarly tradition is often characterized by a dogmatic form of teaching,
based on a reproduction of a Western approach. The group hopes to generate a regional movement organized around
rethinking approaches to teaching and researching in the field.
Locating Nature: Making and Unmaking International Law
Convener: Usha Natarajan (Australia) The American University in Cairo.
Contributors: Nadia Ahmad (United States) Sustainable Development Strategies Group; Saptarishi Bandopadhyay (India)
Harvard Law School; Aurélien Bouayad (France) Sciences Po Law School; Julia Dehm (Australia) Melbourne Law School; Hélène
Mayrand (Canada) University of Sherbrooke; Roger Merino Acuña (Peru) University of Bath; Areli Valencia (Peru) University of
Ottawa; and Karolina Zurek (Poland) Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies.
Description: This project aims to locate nature as a central disciplinary concept in the international legal field, alongside
sovereignty, jurisdiction, trade, and development. The project steps beyond the category of “international environmental
law,” urging the unmaking and reformulation of central disciplinary tenets to encapsulate healthier understandings of
nature. The group will explore ideas of the ‘human’ that underpin global law and policy, including the relationship between
human rights law and the environment, environmental justice, and ‘environmentality,’ and the evolution of new areas of
expertise.

Ongoing IGLP Alumni Collaborative Research Initiatives include:
Critical Approaches to International Criminal Law (CAICL)
Organized by: Heidi Matthews (Canada) Harvard Law School; Alejandra Azuero-Quijano (Colombia) Harvard
Law School; Grietje Baars (The Netherlands) The City Law School, City University London; Michelle BurgisKasthala (Australia) University of Edinburgh; Paul Kingsley Clark (United Kingdom) Garden Court Chambers;

National University of Ireland, Galway; Jamie Rowen, University of Toronto; Christine Schwöbel (Germany),
University of Liverpool Law School; and Immi Tallgren (Finland) University of Helsinki.
ANNUAL REPORT
Description: Mainstream debates in the international criminal law (ICL) field by and large do not examine the
complicities of ICL in injustice and conflict. In contrast, CAICL aims to uncover and understand the exclusions
and biases in the contemporary understanding of ICL and to question the assumptions that inform the field. In
so doing, the Group hopes to identify and assemble an expanded range of sites of critique of (and within) ICL.
With IGLP collaborative research support, in 2014 CAICL produced an edited collection, “Critical Approaches to
International Criminal Law: An Introduction” (Christine Schwöbel, ed., Routledge).
Turf and Texture: Narrating the Legal International
Organized by: Lucas Lixinski (Brazil) University of New South Wales; Nikolas M. Rajkovic (Canada) University of
Kent Law School; and Surabhi Ranganathan (India) King’s College Cambridge.
Description: Current debates in international law are informed by narratives about what the international
legal order “is” or “should be.” Dominant labels include: “global administrative law,” “constitutionalization
of international law,” “international legal pluralism,” and “fragmentation of international law.” While
these narratives attempt to explain alleged convergences and divergences of international legal rules
and institutions, little work has scrutinized the contribution of these narratives to an idea of the “legal
international.” This project aims to compare and analyze these narratives across specific specialized regimes in
order to understand how they function, and to evaluate their impact on positive international law.
Global Law in Context
Organized by: Luis Eslava (Colombia) Melbourne Law School; Vanja Hamzić (Bosnia & Herzegovina) SOAS,
University of London; Vidya Kumar (Canada) University of Birmingham; Yoriko Otomo (Australia) SOAS,
University of London; and Henrique Carvalho (Brazil) King’s College London.
Description: This project responds to the inadequacy of current global law texts in addressing the rich variety
of ways in which law is being produced, globalized and used across jurisdictions, scales of governance and
social contexts. The group will generate an introductory undergraduate textbook, “Global Law in Context,”
that will offer fresh and under-explored perspectives on global law as it relates to core legal subjects. The
book will explore the plurality of mechanisms, rationalities, epistemologies, approaches, legal concepts and
institutional arrangements that give a global shape to particular legal fields. It will provide an understanding
of how global law is being constituted both as a new subject of knowledge and as a mode of practice and
reasoning. At the same time, it will examine how existing (and emerging) understandings of global law build
on, reinforce, and conflict with competing conceptions of law and globalization that are used to characterize
the relationship between the Global North, Global South and elsewhere. Our textbook will be followed by a
companion collection of essays entitled, “Global Law: Problems and Promises of a Concept.”
41
Rethinking Political Economy
Organized by: Jason Jackson (United States & The Bahamas) Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; and Anush Kapadia
(United States) City University London.
Description: This project seeks to address the narrow nature of academic and policy discourse around the socioeconomic
and governance challenges we face, epitomized by the financial crisis, but also in long-standing debates on economic
development and global governance. It seeks to promote new thinking on economic governance by analyzing the
distributional implications of the crisis and how the responses to it were constructed through political contestation, rather
than the dominant (depoliticized) view of these being technocratic outputs from “experts.”
Pursuing Your Enemies in the South: International Law and the War Against Crime and Terror
Organized by: Arnulf Becker (Chile) Brown University; Justin Desautels-Stein (United States) University of Colorado Law
School; John Haskell (United States) Mississippi College School of Law; Akbar Rasulov (Uzbekistan) University of Glasgow;
and Vivek Kanwar (United States) Jindal Global Law School.
Description: Legal experts have explored the tensions between new forms and goals of warfare and the traditional law of
war. Western states with strategic interests and military capabilities to pursue their enemies by using armed force beyond
their own frontiers take an expansive reading of the law of war. On the contrary, international lawyers situated in the
West, but who see the law from the perspective of the interest of the international community, generally advance a more
restrictive interpretation of the law of war. Remarkably, however, there is no view interpreting rules and balancing policy
objectives in light of the interests and position of those most commonly affected by the new modes of military intervention
and conflict: weaker states of the semi-periphery. The collection that the group will produce will attempt to fill this gap.
Before and After Method: Histories and Sociologies of International Law
Organized by: John Haskell (United States) Mississippi College School of Law; Akbar Rasulov (Uzbekistan) University of
Glasgow; Alejandro Lorite Escorihuela (Colombia) The American University in Cairo; and Umut Özsu (Canada) University of
Manitoba.
Description: This two-year project on the methodologies of international legal scholarship will attempt to “sociologize” the
enterprise of international legal historiography. Broaching international legal history as a field of competing projects driven
by rival visions of world order and state sovereignty, this enterprise will contribute to the increasingly self-reflexive literature
on the sociology of international legal thought and practice.
Critical Approaches to Human Rights
Organized by: Aziza Ahmed (United States) Northeastern University School of Law; Michelle Burgis-Kasthala (Australia)
University of Edinburgh; and Zinaida Miller (United States) The Fletcher School, Tufts University.
Description: This project will examine critical approaches to human rights with an eye towards understanding where and
how the critiques have become absorbed into mainstream human rights work without significant transformation of the
field.

Critical Approaches to Islamic Law and Economy II Principal Investigators: Karen Rhone (USA), Doctoral Fellow,
University of Chicago, and Laura Elder (USA), Assistant Professor,
Saint Mary’s College
ANNUAL REPORT
This project emerged out of Karen’s earlier Santander Grant Project
on Islamic Law and Economy, which she launched in 2013. This project is focused on questions of Islamic law

around notions of moral economy, moral finance, and the resultant connections, and disconnections, to
modes of global law and policy.
Chinese and Indian Land Grabs in Africa: Economic
Imperialism?
Principal Investigators: George Forji Amin (Finland), PhD Candidate,
University of Helsinki, and Razak Jaha (Ghana), Assistant Lecturer,
University Cape Coast
This project investigates recent land acquisition patterns in Sub-Saharan Africa by Chinese and Indian
investors in order to assess their effects on the proprietary rights of the African populace and their socioeconomic impact on the livelihood of the latter. The researchers expect that analysis of these relatively new
instruments of south-south economic hegemony may challenge the view that the “Third World” is inherently
anti-imperialistic, enriching the literature on Third World Approaches to International Law while questioning
the wisdom among African political elites of considering China and India as “Third World friends.”
Individual Grants
Plural Customs and Formalization: Land Registration in Ethiopia Mekonnen Ayano (Ethiopia), S.J.D. Candidate, Harvard Law School
This study analyzes the relationship between the plurality of customs and socioeconomic relations respecting land in Ethiopia and the ongoing land registration
program. The research will map customary practices and the history of land title
and registration systems, examine theories justifying formalization, and analyze
the consequences of the current formalization model. The work aims to develop
alternative formalization procedures that could minimize damage to customary titles, practices and traditions.
The grant will support field research in the Dugda district (Ethiopia) to identify the process of rural land
registration and to examine whether and how it interferes with customary property titles.

Women in the new legal profession in India Swethaa Ballakrishnen (United States), Ph.D. Candidate, Stanford University
Using in-depth interviews and new survey data, this project explores the institutional
emergence of new legal professional spaces in India with egalitarian advantages for women
legal professionals. As elsewhere, legal practice in India has been a male-dominated profession.
Yet data suggests that women are less disadvantaged in new “global” legal workspaces in
India emerging in the wake of market liberalization. These findings challenge conventional
explanations of the persistence of professional gender hierarchy and of the organizational homogenizing impact of
globalization. The grant will support comparative study of women lawyers working on global work in global firms, in
traditional law practice, and those doing non-global work in global firms.
Authority and Islam: An Ethnography of Fatwa in Myanmar Melissa Crouch (United States), Research Fellow, National University of Singapore
This ethnographic exploration of religious authority in Myanmar will use the practice of fatwa
(Islamic legal opinions) to explore the contours of authority among the Islamic communities
in Myanmar and to enrich our understanding of authority in Southeast Asia. The research will
focus on the Islamic Religious Affairs Council, one of the peak Islamic bodies in Myanmar to
issue fatwa, primarily in relation to questions of marriage, inheritance and divorce. The grant
will support field research in Yangon and Mandalay, Myanmar, including interviews and the collection of primary materials.
Towards an Interruptive History of Islamic Law Vanja Hamzić (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Lecturer, SOAS, University of London
This project aims to identify factors shaping the Islamic legal tradition that have
been overlooked in much Islamic law historiography, including cyclical globalization,
vernacular knowledge systems, cultural revolutions, crude periodizations, and modernist
re-configurations. The project began by assessing the major sources of Islamic legal
historiography, and then focusing on issues befalling ‘scripturalist’ and ‘new historian’ works
and their authors, including those of early Muslim imperialism and European colonialism. Earlier phases of the project, also
supported by Doha - Santander grants, focused on archival and ethnographic work in Pakistan (2011), Egypt (2012), and
Palestine (2013). This grant will support a third phase of research: a case study of newly emerging literature on the Mamluk
historians of Islamic law and society undertaken through archival work in the UK, including translation and acquisition of
research materials.
Constitutional Reform and Women’s Rights in Today’s Tunisia John Hursh (United States), LL.M. Candidate, McGill University, Centre for Human Rights and
Legal Pluralism
This project will deepen our understanding of the potential for local and international
participation in legal reform and constitutionalization in Islamic majority nations, using the
example of the Tunisian constitution’s provisions on women’s rights and gender equality.
The grant will support travel to meet with influential academics, women’s rights supporters,
and civil society organization leaders in Tunisia to discuss their role in securing a gender equality provision within the new
constitution.

Islamic Practices of International Heritage Protection & the Politics of
Regionalism in International Law Lucas Lixinski (Brazil), Lecturer, University of New South Wales
This project examines the (relatively sparse) participation of Islamic countries in
the international heritage work of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in light of the international heritage protection
practices of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(ISESCO). The project will interrogate the politics of regionalism in international law, examining Islamic
traditions of international law-making, and standard-setting, and the relationships between the Islamic
tradition and universal-aspiring bodies.
ANNUAL REPORT
Islamic Law and the Struggle for Governance in Somalia Mark Massoud (United States), Assistant Professor, University of California, Santa
Cruz
This project will contribute to scholarship on the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) region by using the case of Somalia to illuminate how law (including
Islamic law) plays a role in state formation and governance. Building on research
in Sudan and Somalia, this interdisciplinary study of law and development
focuses on how lawyers, activists, and community leaders use legal mechanisms to build peace and security.
The study combines ethnographic fieldwork in Somaliland and archival research at the British Library. The
grant will also support additional qualitative interviews in summer 2014.
Managing Foreign Investment in Natural Resources: Can Colombia Learn
from Qatar?
Nicolás Perrone (Argentina), Assistant Professor, Universidad Externado de
Colombia
This project explores the lessons Colombia may learn from Qatar’s laws on
foreign investment in natural resources. The natural resource boom in South
America makes the management of natural resources a policy priority for
countries like Colombia. Harnessing foreign investment without a loss of control or benefit has been a
recurring challenge. Gulf countries, including Qatar, have moved from concession to joint venture agreements
for the production of oil and gas in the last thirty years, allowing a higher degree of control and giving the
government voice and authority over operations, risks and benefits. Although these alternative structures
for foreign investment were discredited by the World Bank and the OECD during the nineties, this project
examines the potential relevance of the Qatari experience for resource management in Colombia.

G20 “outreach” to Islamic and MENA Region Nations
Susan Harris Rimmer (Australia), Director of Studies at the Asia-Pacific College of Diplomacy,
Australian National University
This project investigates whether Muslim nations represented on the G20 (Saudi Arabia,
Turkey and Indonesia) feel a responsibility to provide leadership in the G20 in ways influenced
by Islamic conceptions of finance and banking, and whether and how these nations provide
outreach about their G20 discussions to other Islamic states or Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) countries. The study will explore the success of the “outreach” strategy—diplomatic meetings and communications
strategies used by the host state to let the rest of the international community know the priorities of the G20 Summits—
with particular focus on the Islamic world and the MENA region. The grant will support research in Jakarta, Saudi Arabia and
Turkey.
The Reconfiguration of Migration through Islamic Finance Shanthi Senthe (Canada), Ph.D Candidate, Osgoode Hall Law School
This research project explores the contours of Islamic finance within non-Islamic jurisdictions,
its ‘legal’ integration into the financial system, and its links to remittance and migration
patterns using Sri Lanka as a case study. The study supported by this grant—drawing upon
earlier qualitative research in Sri Lanka on the regulation of financial inclusion—will examine
the specific conditions propelling the rise and extension of Islamic finance in specific
non-Islamic jurisdictions and the ways in which Islamic finance has transformed the financial regulatory landscape and
influenced national dialogue on migration issues.
The Role of Ethnicity in the Political Organization of Nation-States: The Case of Uyghur
Muslims in China
Mohammad Shahabuddin (Bangladesh), Assistant Professor, Chairman, Department of Law &
Justice, Jahangrinagar University
Although ethnic conflicts typically result from a number of inter-related issues, this research
focuses on the tension between two political ideologies: the secular political ideology of the
Communist Party of China and the ever-increasing salience of Islam as a political ideology
among Uyghur Muslims. The study aims to examine the concept of statehood in Islamic jurisprudence, and address its
compatibility with nationalist movements by Muslim minorities along the religious line. The grant will support research
using secondary literature and a short field visit to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.
The Rise of the Term ‘Shari’a-Compliant’ in 21st Century Finance
Nurfadzilah Yahaya (Singapore), Mark Steinberg Weil Early Career Fellow in Islamic Studies,
Washington University School of Law
This study places the recent rise of the term and practice of “shari’a-compliant” banking
products and investments in Islamic finance in historical perspective. The project will examine
the determination of shari’a compliance, if by other names, in financial arrangements during
the colonial period in Southeast Asia, and explore the process by which this yielded to today’s more explicit certification
of compliance with shari’a. The grant will support archival work in Indonesia and Malaysia to examine colonial documents
pertaining to Islamic law and commercial affairs in both Netherlands Indies and Malaya during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.

IGLP fellows
Inaugurated in 2006, the IGLP Fellowship Program offers doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship support
to a small number of scholars pursuing research in areas related to the IGLP’s ongoing work. Through the
Fellowship Program the IGLP seeks to encourage the development of progressive and alternative ideas
about international law, society and political economy by supporting original, provocative and challenging
intellectual work that might not otherwise find support from mainstream institutional resources and which
contributes to the emergence of new approaches to international law and global social justice.
The IGLP is very pleased to announce the appointment of six new Fellows. Joining the IGLP in 2014-15 as
Residential Fellows are Lina Maria Céspedes-Baez, Julia Dehm, Tomaso Ferrando, and Maja Savevska. Our 201415 Non-Residential Fellows are Arnulf Becker, and Zinaida Miller.
2014-15 Residential Fellows
Lina Maria Céspedes-Baez (Colombia) Temple University
ANNUAL REPORT
Idealized Women, Idealized Harms: Governance Feminism and the Narrowing
of Women’s Experiences in Colombia’s Armed Conflict
Lina M. Céspedes-Baez is a Colombian lawyer, currently pursuing her S.J.D. degree
at the James E. Beasley School of Law, Temple University as a Fulbright Scholar.
Her research has focused on the interactions between private law, international
law, human rights and gender. Lina received her law degree from Universidad del
Rosario (Colombia). She has a specialized degree in tax law from Universidad del
Rosario, a Masters in Gender Studies from Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and
an LL.M. with a concentration in international law from Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University. She has
been a law professor at Universidad del Rosario since 2005, where she teaches Obligations (Obligaciones),
Sources of Obligations (Fuentes de las Obligaciones), and Legal Theory, and where she has been a member
of the University’s Democracy and Justice Research Group since 2011. She is currently part of the Colombian
Observatory of Rural Real Property Restitution and Regulation (Observatorio de Restitución y Regulación de
Derechos de Propiedad Agraria), an academic initiative among Colombian universities and scholars to monitor
and conduct research about the implementation of land restitution measures approved by the Colombian
government in 2011 to redress harms to victims of Colombia’s internal armed conflict.
Lina’s research explores the impact the theoretical body of radical feminist scholarship has had on the
identification, understanding and management of harms women face in the Colombian armed conflict and
in transitional justice initiatives in Colombia and other post-conflict settings. She is interested in how radical
feminism has narrowed the scope for understanding what constitutes gender-based violence in conflict. Her
work explores how radical feminism has limited this understanding to sexual violence and related offenses,
and how the overarching employment of the sexual domination matrix is used to explain the full range
of harm women experience in this setting. In particular, Lina’s project focuses on how the radical feminist
narrative has been deployed in the context of women’s land deprivation and massive displacement in the
Colombian conflict, and advances alternative explanations to comprehend this phenomenon through the
exploration of the intersection between feminism, theories of property and transitional justice.

Julia Dehm (Australia) Melbourne Law School
Climate Justice or Carbon Governmentality: Law, Life, Limits and Growth in Crisis
Julia Dehm is a Ph.D. Candidate at Melbourne Law School, and was a 2014 IGLP Workshop
Participant. Among others, she works in the areas of environmental law, law and development,
and legal theory. She has worked for the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute and was a
member of the Steering Committee of the Activist Legal Rights Website project at the Fitzroy
Legal Service. Julia’s most recent publication is “‘REDD faces all around’: Implementing reducing
emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Indonesia” (Local-Global Journal, 2012).
Julia’s research engages with dominant international legal and policy responses to the climate crisis and presents the
climate crisis as a critical challenge for the global community. Where collective failure to respond to climate change with
effective and equitable policy will accentuate already existing structural inequalities the ecological crisis simultaneously
presents an opportunity for rethinking and reimagining global planetary co-habitation. The climate crisis is not simply a
scientific or a technical challenge but ultimately a political and ethical social problem in which law and legal responses
have the capacity to play a critical role. Julia’s research examines legal responses to the climate crisis through the United
Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other transnational forums in order to ask pertinent questions about
the adequacy and equity of these approaches. A fundamental concern of her research is the increased marketization of
transnational environmental governance and the centrality of carbon emission trading schemes to international mitigation
and adaptation measures and how such responses may foreclose possibilities for ‘environmental justice.’ Her doctoral thesis
examines the social implications of a specific carbon offset scheme under the UNFCCC umbrella called Reducing Emissions
from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) in order to investigate contemporary reconfigurations of imperial
control by the global North over forested land and biological resources in the global South.
Tomaso Ferrando (Italy) Sciences Po Law School
The Financialization of Global Agricultural Production: How Private Equity Funds, Private
Development Funds and Pension Funds are changing the Global Food Chain
Tomaso Ferrando is a Ph.D. Candidate at Sciences Po Law School and has been an Italian
barrister since 2011. He was also a 2012 IGLP Workshop Participant. During the last two years
he has been a visiting researcher at Universidade de São Paulo (Commerce Law Department)
and the University of Cape Town (Public Law Department). Tomaso holds a Master of Science
in Comparative Law, Economics and Finance from the International University College of Turin,
and has been a visiting researcher at both the law and anthropology departments of UC Berkeley. In 2010 he worked as a
pro bono lawyer for Racimos de Ungurahui, a Peruvian NGO specialized in providing legal support to local communities
affected by development projects and resources extraction. Since that time he has cooperated with local and international
NGOs dealing with resource-related large-scale investments, including Greenpeace and Action Aid. When he wears the
academic hat, Tomaso takes advantage of his multidisciplinary background to refuse the rigid separation between legal
areas, in particular the public-private distinction that occupies Western legal thought and teaching. Tomaso’s doctoral
research project starts from the assumption that any critical analysis of global value chains must reckon with the “increasing
role of financial motives, financial markets, financial actors and financial institutions in the operation of the domestic and
international economies.” As such, legal scholars should analyze the interplay of neo-liberalism, legal globalization and
financialization both in terms of their interconnection and in terms of the use of law as a privileged proxy through which
the expansion of finance, the internationalization of capital, and the globalization of markets are achieved. During his time
as an IGLP Fellow, Tomaso plans to study the increasing financialization of the food regime as an ongoing process with
multiple socio-economic implications. In particular, his research aims to determine the role of law in both favoring and
constraining the consolidation and worldwide reach of finance within the food Global Production Network. He will focus on
three different manifestations of the financialization of the food regime, each characterized by peculiar legal aspects, and
relatively underestimated by the general debate: the financialization of agricultural development; the direct involvement of
private funds in the food production system; and the role of institutional investors in the global food regime.

2014-15 Residential Fellows (Continued)
Maja Savevska (Macedonia) University of Warwick and Université Libre de
Bruxelles
A Polanyian Critique of the Political Economy of the European Union
ANNUAL REPORT
Maja Savevska is a Ph.D. Candidate at the GEM PhD School, Erasmus Mundus Joint
Doctorate on Globalization, EU and Multilateralism, where she was awarded a full
scholarship by the European Commission. She was also a 2014 IGLP Workshop
Participant. Her mobility program includes holding simultaneous registrations at
the University of Warwick and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). She received
her undergraduate training in political science from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje. Maja received
a full scholarship from the Open Society Institute to participate in an exchange program at the University
of Washington Seattle, where she completed a minor in International Relations. She completed an M.Sc. in
Global Governance and Diplomacy at the University of Oxford, where she was awarded the Open Society
Institute/Foreign and Commonwealth Office Chevening scholarship. Her experience includes TA work at the
Univerité Libre de Bruxelles and Humboldt University and extensive NGO work in Macedonia. Maja’s research
interests fall within the remit of critical and heterodox political economy. Her project offers an interdisciplinary
intervention that draws on the canonical texts of Karl Polanyi and the burgeoning Polanyian literature.
Maja’s main object of inquiry is the morphology of the contradictions that underpin the socio-economic
transformation of the European Union. She seeks to juxtapose the disembedding and embedding tendencies
of this transformation. First, she is concerned with excavating the self-regulating market logic inscribed in the
EU edifice by looking at historical development across three policy fields: competition, financial integration
and education, and also by appraising the post-crisis macroeconomic reforms instigated by the Six-Pack, the
Two-Pack, the Fiscal Treaty and the Euro-Plus Pact. She argues that the latter represent a missed opportunity
for a U-turn in the course of competitive austerity, i.e. a lost kairos. This part of her research aims to
problematize the policy solutions implemented in the aftermath of the Great Recession, which are predicated
on a crisis narrative that entrenches the monetary orthodoxy. Second, Maja endeavors to examine emerging
socio-environmental legislation that, despite its protective invocation, falls short of embedding the economy
because it is predicated on deepened commodification. In doing so, she recuperates a critical Polanyian
reading that highlights the unresolved ambiguities within these supposedly protective dynamics.
2014-15 Non-Residential Fellows
Zinaida Miller (United States) Tufts University
Zinaida is a doctoral Candidate in International Relations at The Fletcher School,
Tufts University. She joins the IGLP again this year, after serving as a Residential
Doctoral Fellow from 2012-14. Her work examines the law and policy of post-conflict
reconstruction, focusing on the interplay between ideas and institutions in the fields
of transitional justice, state- and peacebuilding, human rights, and humanitarian aid.
Using Palestine and Rwanda as case studies, her dissertation maps the allocation of
power and authority among national and international actors in the aftermath of conflict, the ways in which
ideas about how to reconstruct states both influence and are altered by institutionalization on the ground,
and the effects of post-conflict discourses on resistance and political struggle. This work builds upon her
previous studies of transitional justice, which examined the field’s systematic occlusion of economic inequality
49
and structural violence. Her publications include: “Perils of Parity: Palestine’s Permanent Transition” (Cornell International
Law Journal, forthcoming 2014), and “Effects of Invisibility: In Search of the ‘Economic’ in Transitional Justice” (International
Journal of Transitional Justice, 2008). She holds a B.A. from Brown University, a Masters in Law and Diplomacy from The
Fletcher School, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
Arnulf Becker (Chile/United States) Brown University
Arnulf is currently a Visiting Faculty member at the Watson Institute for International Relations
at Brown University. Arnulf received his S.J.D. from Harvard Law School. His areas of expertise
include public international law, laws of war, the history of international law, comparative law
and international legal theory. He has been a lecturer in public international law at King’s College
London and a Pembroke Center Post-doctoral Fellow at Brown University. His research traces the
global intellectual history of international law focusing on the role non-Western international
lawyers have played in the construction of the international legal order between the second
half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. His forthcoming book,
“Mestizo International Law: A Global Intellectual History, 1842–1933,” will be published by Cambridge University Press.
Outgoing Fellows
The IGLP is also saying farewell to its outgoing Fellows. The IGLP is grateful for their hard work, creativity and dedication in
assisting with the planning of the Institute’s academic programs and initiatives, and wishes them the best of luck in their
next endeavors! Outgoing Fellows include Heidi Matthews (Canada) and Yun-Ru Chen (Taiwan).
Heidi Matthews (Canada) Harvard Law School
Heidi served as a 2013-14 Residential Doctoral Fellow, and recently received her S.J.D. from
Harvard Law School. During her time at Harvard, Heidi was a Byse Fellow at Harvard Law School,
a Fellow at the Film Study Center, the Edmund J. Safra Center for Ethics and the Project on Justice,
Welfare and Economics at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University.
She was also a Doctoral Fellow of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada
and a John Peters Humphrey Fellow of the Canadian Council on International Law. Heidi holds
a B.A. from Mount Allison University and an LL.B.-B.C.L. from McGill University, Faculty of Law.
She has worked at the Appeals Chamber of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and the Office of
the Prosecutor at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. Her doctoral dissertation, “From Aggression to Atrocity: Interrogating
the Jus in Bello Turn in International Criminal Law,” critically evaluates the role of the jus ad bellum/jus in bello distinction in
the development of international criminal law, and offers a political theory of ICL’s contemporary manifestations. Her postdoctoral research project studies the relationship of the Cold War to international criminal law.
Yun-Ru Chen (Taiwan) State University of New York
After serving as a 2013-14 Residential Post-Doctoral Fellow, Yun-Ru will take up a post-doctoral
fellowship at the Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy at the State University of New York in
Buffalo. Yun-Ru earned her S.J.D. from Harvard Law School in 2013. Taking colonial Taiwan (18951945), a former territory of imperial China and the first colony of Japan, as the vantage point, her
dissertation suggests that ideas about nations and families were far from homogenous in the
colonial encounter. She argues that it is not necessary that family law should play a reactionary
role in developing nationalism in non-western societies. During her stay at the Baldy Center,
Yun-Ru will turn her dissertation into a book manuscript tentatively titled, “Paradoxes of the National Family Law in (Post-)
Colonial East Asia: Taiwan as the Nexus.” In addition, she will examine the modernization of Chinese family law and its
relation to Chinese nationalism in the long twentieth century.

June 2014 Doha-Santander Collaborative Travel Grant Teams
In June 2014 we were pleased to welcome recipients of Doha-Santander Collaborative Travel Grants. These
grants were made available to groups of our IGLP Workshop alumni who applied to come to the IGLP in
June to deepen the discussions they began together at the IGLP Workshop in the hope that it may lead
to a Collaborative Research Project. The 2014 Doha-Santander Collaborative Travel Grants were made by
possible with the generous support of Santander Universities. We welcomed the following Doha-Santander
Collaborative Travel Grant Teams to join us at Harvard in June 2014:
Revolution, Constitutionalism and International Law
Team leader: Vidya Kumar (Canada) University of Birmingham Law School. Team members: Philip Kaisary
(United Kingdom) University of Warwick School of Law; and Sanale Sibanda (South Africa) University of
Witwatersrand Law School. Commentator: Nathaniel Berman (United States) Brown University.
ANNUAL REPORT
This project aims to explore the relationships among revolution, constitutionalism and international law, in
both historical and contemporary contexts. By focusing on revolutions outside the global North, the team
hopes to contribute to an alternative, critical and heterodox genealogy of constitutionalism.
Law’s Hegemony
Team Leader: Honor Brabazon (Canada), University of Oxford. Team Members: Gleider Hernandez (Canada)
University of Durham Law School; Tor Krever (Canada) London School of Economics and Political Science; and
Mai Taha (Egypt) University of Toronto.
This group aims to explore the authority law commands over alternative systems through which to view,
judge, and order our world. The group considered the extent to which law can be understood as hegemonic;
that is, how its supremacy over other systems of authority, morality, and social organization is considered to
be common sense, beneficial, and universal and to what ends law has obtained such significance.
(Dis)solving Informal Labor Vulnerability through Labor Laws: Examining the Failures, Frames & Assumptions
Team Leader: Yugank Goyal (India) University of Hamburg. Team Members: Jorge Esquirol (United States)
Florida International University College of Law; Vivek Kanwar (United States) Jindal Global Law School; Kerry
Rittich (Canada) University of Toronto; and Alvaro Santos (Mexico) Georgetown Law.
This group is brainstorming together about the difficulty labor law traditions have had responding to
increasing informality and labor vulnerability in developing nations, asking whether these difficulties are
symptomatic of problems in labor law architecture or are simply a problem of their implementation.
Multinational Behavior in Africa: Human Rights Perspectives
Team Leader: Qingxiu Bu (People’s Republic of China) University of Sussex. Team Members: Luwam Dirar
(Eritrea) Cornell Law School; and Kibrom Teweldebirhan (Eritrea) Harvard Law School.
This team is exploring the tensions in the human rights practices of Africa promoted and followed by
multinational companies, the international human rights community, and China’s approach to ensuring
human rights in Africa. The group will explore whether a comprehensive framework of hard law and soft law
initiatives, along with other incentives, may be more promising than any of these in isolation.
53
Varieties of State Capitalism and International Economic Order: China, Russia, Brazil and Beyond
Team Leader: Ming Du (People’s Republic of China) Lancaster University School of Law. Team Members: Swethaa
Ballakrishnen (India) Stanford University; Y-Vonne Hutchison (United States) La Isla Foundation; Yaraslau Kryvoi (Belarus)
London School of Economics and Political Science; and Nicolás Perrone (Italy) London School of Economics and Political
Science.
This research team hopes to shed fresh light on how to better integrate state capitalist countries, such as China, Russia and
Brazil into the rule-based global economic system.
Reviving Comparative Law as a Heterodox Discipline
Team Leader: Amaya Alvez Marin (Chile) Universidad de Concepción Department of History and Philosophy of Law. Team
Members: Tatsuhiko Inatani (Japan) Kyoto University; and Marta Infantino (Italy) University of Trieste.
The group is exploring the critical potential of the comparative law field in the 21st century. Praised at the beginning of
the 20th century for its potential to explore the globe’s legal diversity, the sense now is that comparative law struggles
to maintain that role in a much more interconnected and globalized world. Group members are exploring the ways
globalization has made comparative work and an understanding of legal pluralism more important.
Critical Global Economic Governance
Team Leaders: Camila Villard Duran (Brazil) University of São Paulo; Gaye Gungor (Turkey) Gediz University. Team members:
Miguel Adame Martinez (Spain) Universidad de Sevilla; Siobhan Airey (Ireland) University of Ottawa; Rifat Azam (Israel)
Radzyner School of Law; Rui Guo (People’s Republic of China) Harvard Law School; Y-Vonne Hutchison (United States) La Isla
Foundation; Enrique Prieto Rios (Colombia) Birkbeck School of Law, University of London; Seyed Mohamad Hassan Razavi
(Iran) McGill University; and Maja Savevska (Macedonia), Université Libre de Bruxelles and University of Warwick.
This group aims to develop new thinking about global macroeconomic coordination and to explore governance
models that might produce macroeconomic reforms that benefit citizens in a time of global economic transition. Group
members aim to explore the emerging economic order in ways that may promote the human face of capital and improve
understanding of the root causes of the on-going crisis and its spillover effects throughout the developing world.
Operation CIA: Critical Interdisciplinary Approaches
Team Members: Swethaa Ballakrishnen (India) Stanford University; and Y-Vonne Hutchison (United States) La Isla Foundation.
This group aims to explore interdisciplinary methods and encourage innovative forms of scholarly expression and how they
might practically equip themselves so that their research will speak to their disciplines as well as beyond them.
History, Anthropology, and the Archive in International Law
Team Leader: Rose Parfitt (United Kingdom) Melbourne University Law School. Team Members: Madelaine Chiam (Australia)
Melbourne Law School; Luis Eslava (Australia) Melbourne University Law School; Genevieve Painter (Ireland) University of
California, Berkeley Law; and Charlotte Peevers (United Kingdom) University of Technology Sydney.
This group is developing a conversation about historical and anthropological methods, the archive, and the temporality of
international law. While this relationship is already being analyzed in the domestic or national context, this groups aims to
transpose this conversation to the international plane.
