PROJECTS

This project examines how the European Union (EU) defends itself against threats to the rule of law in the territory of its member-states and its neighboring states, especially those who seek accession to its institutions.

This project is taking place through the creation of a new Centre for Digital Humanities and Multilateralism at the Geneva Graduate Institute, which aims at renewing the methods of analysis of diplomacy and multilateralism thanks to the contribution of digital humanities.

This project provides a landmark study of the emergent transnational legal order of sanctions that explains how the United States has changed the regulation of financial markets through the imposition of financial sanctions against its enemy states. 

This project has lead to various publications, including my second monograph, Gift Exchange: The Transnational History of a Political Idea (Cambridge University Press, 2019), as well as various articles and book chapters that explore how international law and anthropology have shaped how global governance has operated in the long twentieth century.
