Presented by the UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs
Join author Matias E. Margulis (Assistant Professor, UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs & Faculty of Land and Food Systems) for a reception celebrating the launch of his new book Shadow Negotiators: How UN Organizations Shape the Rules of World Trade for Food Security. Taking place in Green College’s Graham House Piano Lounge, this event will include remarks by UBC department of Political Science Associate Professor Katharina Coleman as well as light refreshments.
Matias E. Margulis’s research and teaching interests are in global governance, development, human rights, international law and food policy. Previous to UBC he has held academic positions at the University of Edinburgh, University of Stirling, University of Northern British Columbia and Max Plank Institute for the Study of Societies. Shadow Negotiators (Stanford University Press, 2023) is the first book to demonstrate that UN organizations have intervened to influence the discourse, agenda, and outcomes of international trade lawmaking at the World Trade Organization.
“Shadow Negotiators is the most skillful demonstration to date of how international regime complexes emerge and shape global policy-making. A must read for anyone interested in the WTO and international regime complexity.” —Karen J. Alter, Norman Dwight Harris Professor of International Relations, Northwestern University
