New Visiting Researcher at iCourts - Brad Roth
Brad R. Roth is Professor of Political Science and Law at Wayne State University in Detroit , and a Visiting Scholar for Fall 2024 at the Mitchell Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice at Queen's University Belfast. His scholarship applies political theory to problems in international and comparative public law, with a special focus on crises of political authority. He is the author of Governmental Illegitimacy in International Law (Oxford University Press, 1999), Sovereign Equality and Moral Disagreement (Oxford University Press, 2011), and a wide range of book chapters, journal articles, and commentaries dealing with questions of sovereignty, constitutionalism, human rights and democracy. Much of his work focuses on legal aspects of conflicts that have occasioned the use of force (e.g., Israel-Palestine, the former Yugoslavia, and Ukraine) and on retrospective and extraterritorial applications of criminal law to conflict participants.
Brad was a Visiting Scholar at iCourts in the Summer of 2017, and has spoken at two subsequent iCourts conferences.
