The SNIS Award 2015 for the Best PhD Thesis in International Studies was awarded to CTEI Post Doctoral Research Fellow Dr Ayelet Berman

Entitled Reining in the Regulators? Transnational Regulatory Networks and Accountability, Dr. Berman’s study on Transnational Regulatory Networks (TRNs) was considered as highly relevant for both the academic and policy-making fields. Indeed, the academic relevance of the thesis lies in the fact that the subject of study is fairly new in the global law field and thus not yet sufficiently explored. Moreover, the thesis can contribute to the functioning of TRNs and their development toward more transparency and accountability.

Dr  Ayelet Berman is a CTEI Research Fellow and a Principal Member of the Rethinking Stakeholder Participation in International Governance research project  She completed her PhD thesis in International Law at the Graduate Institute in 2014 under the supervision of Professor Joost Pauwelyn.
