Focus Areas
Where the work concentrates
01 Technology, Information & Democratic Accountability
A throughline running from an early 2012 study on social networks and the infringement of fundamental rights to current work on information governance, platform and algorithmic accountability, and the digital pressures now facing democratic institutions.
02 Law, Governance & Public Institutions
Constitutional design, legal pluralism, and the standing of indigenous legal systems within the Bolivian plurinational state — the foundational thread running through the earliest research, and the throughline into current work on public institutions and subnational governance.
03 Transnational Law & Investment Arbitration
The mechanisms — and gaps — of accountability once disputes cross borders, from the enforcement of arbitral awards to the accountability structures available when domestic remedies are insufficient.
04 Socio-Environmental Rights & Extractive Governance
One continuing strand of this work: how state authority, corporate power, and community rights interact in the extractive sector — informed by direct experience inside a state gas enterprise and alongside civil-society conservation efforts in the Gran Chaco.
