Overview

About the programme

The Kooijmans Institute for Law and Governance at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam approaches legal issues from an international, transnational or meta-legal perspective, and steers its publications towards international scientific debate.

The institute's research lies at the interface between various disciplines, or between legal subdiscipines, for example between public and private law. Renewing insights are found at these boundaries of (sub)disciplines.

Programme Structure

Research:

Law operates in a context of public administration and society, where historical, political, economic, social and technological aspects play a part.
The Kooijmans Institute includes this rich societal context in its research questions, and seeks connection with concrete societal needs and themes.
Insights from legal-theory and empirical research are critically examined and employed.
