- This approx. 110,000 word monograph brings together six years of theoretical and empirical research on ground-level effects of international norms and policies, particularly on marginalised urban communities in developing countries. Primary and secondary sources, 56 semi-structured interviews, and over 30 participant observations, are combined with bibliographical and archival research conducted in Australia, Colombia, Germany and the United States. The result is an interdisciplinary, wide-ranging challenge to standard approaches to international law and its relation to domestic laws and social transformations. It won the 2016 Hart-SLSA Book Prize and 2016 Hart-SLSA Prize for Early Career Researchers and was translated into Spanish.
