Author bio
Ulf Linderfalk is Professor of International Law in the Faculty of Law, Lund University, which he joined in 2001. Linderfalk is a specialized generalist. His research – throughout directed at the understanding of the systemic fabric of international law, rather than its many technical details – has engaged with a great number of areas of international law. It has examined issues arising from generally occurring phenomena, such as normative conflict, legal hierarchy, legal interpretation, legal principles, legal concepts and conceptual terms, good faith, abuse of rights, proportionality, the application of law over time, the exercise of discretion in international law, the concept of a special regime, and different conceptions of an international legal system. He is the author of four monographs – including ‘The International Legal System as a System of Knowledge’ (Edward Elgar, 2022), ‘Understanding Jus Cogens in International Law and International Legal Discourse’ (Edward Elgar, 2020), and ‘On the Interpretation of Treaties (Springer, 2007) – two textbooks (both of which are available in updated third editions); four co-edited volumes; and a total of some 40 articles in high-ranking peer-reviewed international law journals.
