Tijdens deze bijeenkomst zal Professor van Zeben een lezing geven aan onderzoekers van A4CL. Zij werkt als hoogleraar bij the Florence School of Transnational Governance en is daarnaast editor-in-chief van Transnational Environmental Law.
Professor van Zeben’s research focuses on the regulation of transnational issues by public and private actors across jurisdictions, with particular attention to polycentric governance theory and developments related to the European Union. Her work on the EU as a polycentric system exemplifies this line of her research. The other main lines of her research speak to environmental problems, which are often intrinsically transnational. This research includes work on (the interactions between) climate change, biodiversity, agriculture and pollution, specifically pollution caused by so-called ‘forever chemicals’ such as PFAS.
