Dr Emily Sipiorski

Bio

My research approaches international law through the lens of international economic law--at the intersection of the public and private, the individual and the state, and rights and responsibilities. My doctoral project examined the application of the principle of good faith in international investment arbitration. I worked on a post-doctoral project that empirically assessed the potential development of global constitutionalism within the international economic sphere. 

I am increasingly interested in the realities of systemic integration in the international decision-making process. How do environmental law and human rights obligations color international economic jurisprudence? How are courts and tribunals understanding the scientific knowledge that is required to take these decisions across international legal frameworks? How do different methods of dispute resolution enhance or detract from the consistency and relevance of awards where these intersections occur?
