Dr Richard Clements researches questions relating to international legal expertise. His first monograph, The Justice Factory: Management Practices at the International Criminal Court was published by Cambridge University Press in February 2024 and examines how management ideas and tools have shaped international law, specifically the organisation, professionals and arguments of the ICC.
In addition, Richard has been awarded a prestigious NWO Veni grant and a Dutch government Starter Grant (Startersbeurs) to study the changing styles of expertise in a range of crises areas in international law including global health and marine plastic pollution. Richard acquired his PhD from Cambridge University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Global Law & Policy, Harvard Law School (where he remains a Faculty member) before coming to Tilburg Law School in February 2021. He co-convenes the International Law & Politics network at the Law & Society Association.
