- Piracy and the Origins of Universal Jurisdiction is a substantial monograph (c. 120,000 words) researched and written over a period of ten years. It compiles and analyses perspectives from different time periods (Republican Rome to present day) and ideological approaches (legal / sociological / political / cultural), juxtaposing historical events against legal developments to understand the theory and practice behind the regulation of high seas piracy. The monograph draws on this complex history to develop a novel theory of “universal jurisdiction” that will inform humanity’s response to present and future catastrophe. The research was supported by an AHRC doctoral award.
