Professor Dunoff’s primary areas of research include public international law, international regulatory regimes, international organizations and courts, and interdisciplinary approaches to international law. Current projects include papers on the law and politics of interactions among international organizations, the causes and consequences of divergent practices of dissent across international courts (with Mark A. Pollack), and what international legal theory has to offer international relations scholars (with Mark A. Pollack).
Links to many of his published and unpublished writings on international trade, international organizations, international courts, interdisciplinarity, the constitutionalization of international law, fragmentation and regime interaction, economic analysis of international law, and other topics, can be found below.
