Emilie Hafner-Burton is a leading young voice bringing attention to international human rights issues. She is associate professor of political science and co-director of the Laboratory on International Law and Regulation at UC San Diego’s School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, taught previously at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and received her PhD in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 2012, the International Studies Association awarded her the Karl Deutsch Award for outstanding scholarship on international relations and peace research by a scholar under the age of 40.
Professor Hafner-Burton’s work brings rigorous theorizing and empirical testing to the fields of international human rights, gender, international political economy, and international law. Her numerous peer-reviewed articles have introduced new techniques for network analysis of international relations, investigated the limits of the “peace through trade” argument, and explored the expansion of gender as a focus for global diplomacy and agreements.
