Fully funded PhD position at the University of Amsterdam in Sustainable Global Economic Law. Incredible opportunity to write a PhD on international law and its intersections with ecology, decoloniality and globalization.

We are inviting candidates for a PhD project in the area of Sustainable Global Economic Law. In light of gasping inequalities around the globe as well as the intensifying ecological crisis, this project seeks to engage with the role of international law in these phenomena. International law is often understood to be a tool of restraint and of ordering for taming the otherwise reckless force of the economy. However, international law is equally important in producing and maintaining an extractive and unequal economy. Against the background of this tension, the project engages with the question of what Sustainable Global Economic Law currently is and what it can become.
