Benedict Kingsbury’s broad, theoretically grounded approach to international law closely integrates work in legal theory, political theory, and history. Kingsbury helped pioneer the field of Global Administrative Law. He is the Faculty Director of the Guarini Institute for Global Legal Studies and its Global Tech Law Project launched in 2018. With Professor José Alvarez, Kingsbury served as an editor-in-chief of the century-old American Journal of International Law 2013-18. Kingsbury has written on a wide range of international law topics, from indigenous peoples issues to interstate arbitration, investor-state arbitration, and indicators and rankings. His co-edited volumes include Megaregulation Contested (2019), The Quiet Power of Indicators (2015), Governance by Indicators (2012), and books on Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) and Alberico Gentili (1552-1608).
