Biography
Sabine Michalowski is a Professor of Law at the University of Essex. Her research interests include the economic and social dimensions of transitional justice as well as corporate complicity. Her recent publications include articles on corporate complicity and on the link between sovereign debt and transitional justice.
"The book edited by Sabine Michalowski, Professor of Law at the University of Essex, is a welcome contribution because it addresses a question almost unexplored so far: how can corporations be held accountable for their role in human rights abuses when a country is making a transition from conflict or repression to peace and democracy? The volume deals with this question from both a theoretical and a practical perspective."
