New Thinking / New Writing
Writing is the most developed media for sharing our findings and advancing critical thinking. The Institute encourages the development of new ideas in all forms, including new books and academic papers. We have provided this space to encourage our partners, friends and colleagues to share new books and papers which they feel will help advance progressive and alternative ideas about international law, society, and political economy.
If you have new writing you’d like to share with the IGLP Network, please send it to noconnor@law.harvard.edu. The views and opinions expressed in writings shared here do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of Harvard or of the Institute.
