PhD Supervisor: Fuad Zarbiyev
Expected Completion Date: 2024
My thesis looks into the dynamic relationship between international courts and tribunals. By applying the social ecological theory to the world of international adjudicative bodies, it examines if and how international courts compete with each other. It aims to capture the strategic bahaviours of the actors in this competition and analyse its implications.
