Development Researchers' lunch: Engaging with international counter-piracy off the coast of Somalia: An examination of law in practice

The next Development Researchers' lunch will be presented by Jessica Larsen, PhD Candidate at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen and Danish Institute for International Studies. Join us for her presentation, networking and a sandwich.

Jessica will present her research project which examines the role of law in global security governance. Taking an empirical point of departure in international counter-piracy efforts off Somalia, the project explores how the legal framework governing counter-piracy takes on new meanings in actual law enforcement practices, where political dealings, policy considerations and practical circumstances are, arguably, as pertinent as bringing justice. This begs the question: who is governing what through counter-piracy law enforcement?

Registration: Please email jrh@science.ku.dk before 20th of April 2015.

The Development Researchers Lunch will take place on the 23rd of April from 11:30 – 13:00 at Studiestræde 6, 1455 København K. Meeting room: Kvæsturbygningens mødelokale (access from Studiestræde 6 – the door on the left-hand-side before the open yard/Studiegården).
