Outsourcing War and Peace, Presentation by Professor Laura Dickinson, University of Connecticut

Event Information
Thursday, March 27 2008
San Diego, CA

Sponsored by the California Western School of Law, Moot Court Room and co-sponsored by the American Society of International Law. Laura A. Dickinson is a Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law, where she has taught since 2001. During 2006-2007, Professor Dickinson was a Visiting Research Scholar and Visiting Professor in the Law and Public Affairs Program at Princeton University. A graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, she subsequently served as a senior policy adviser to Harold Hongju Koh, Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the U.S. Department of State. In addition, she served as a law clerk to Justices Harry A. Balckmun and Stephen G. Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court, and to Judge Dorothy Nelson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Her work on transitional justice, legal responses to terror, foreign affairs privatization, and the relationship between international and domestic law has appeared in the American Journal of International Law, the Southern California Law Review, the William & Mary Law Review, and the Yale Journal of International Law, and in books published by Harvard University Press, Oxford University Press, Stanford University Press, and Transnational Publishers. She is currently at work on a book, entitled Outsourcing War and Peace, that focuses on the increasing privatization of military functions, foreign aid, and diplomacy, the impact of such privatization on the efficacy of international human rights law, and the possibility that alternative mechanisms (such as contract, tort, and trust) could be used to help ensure accountability of private actors working abroad under government contracts.
