Konstantina D. Oikonomou, PhD

Konstantina D. Oikonomou is currently a Research and Teaching Fellow at the Department of Political Science and International Relations of the University of Peloponnese, where she is conducting funded postdoctoral research, titled “Between power and law: interdisciplinary interventions to International Relations and International Law”.

She explores the various ways in which politics and law intertwine within the complex and asymmetrical relationship of international law and international politics. Following an interdisciplinary approach, she seeks to develop a critical assessment of the contributions and lacunae of international law and international relations scholarship. Her research focuses on international law theories, the politics of international law, international regulatory regimes and interdisciplinary approaches to international law and international relations.

Her aim is to highlight those features of international law that reproduce the paradoxes and ambiguities of the political theories and political systems that influence it. In doing so, she hopes to contribute to further understanding of these fields and how each influences the other.
She completed her undergraduate studies in Political Science at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. She holds a PDG in Law, an LLM and PhD in International Legal Studies from the University of London.

She completed her internship as a Research Associate at the Institute of International Economic Relations in Athens, Greece.
