Biography

Doreen Lustig is a tenured, Associate Professor at Tel Aviv University, Faculty of Law. She writes on the history and theory of public law, with a focus on constitutional and international law. Her historical work traces the role of international law in the development of the modern corporation, both as an institution and as a legal concept. Her research also takes up questions of public law theory, including whether democracy as a normative framework demands the protection of the future, the normative justifications for constitutional commitments and the meaning of climate justice at different spatial (city, state, regional and international) and temporal (past, present, future) scales. She is the author of Veiled Power: International Law and the Private Corporation, 1886–1981 (Oxford University Press, 2020), and her work has appeared in leading journals including the European Journal of International Law, the International Journal of Constitutional Law, and Theoretical Inquiries in Law. She has been a visiting professor at NYU School of Law, the University of Toronto, and Goethe University Frankfurt. She is co-editor of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook on Global Corporations and International Law, and serves as co-editor of the Book Review Section of the European Journal of International Law.

Research Interests and Teaching

Doreen Lustig teaches constitutional law, international law and public law theory. Her current research is organized around two axes. The first is a history of the global corporation as a legal concept; the second, a theory of the future as a democratic concern.
