About the Author

Sundhya Pahuja is a distinguished scholar and Professor of International Law at the University of Melbourne, where she directs the Melbourne Centre for International Law. Her groundbreaking research interrogates the intersections of law, colonialism, and global power dynamics, challenging the universality of international legal norms. With a focus on how legal frameworks perpetuate economic inequalities, Pahuja's work draws from postcolonial theory to advocate for decolonised approaches to global governance. She has held prestigious fellowships at institutions like Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Study, and her contributions extend to public engagement through lectures and policy advisory roles. Pahuja's incisive analysis continues to shape debates on sovereignty, development, and justice in an interconnected world.
