| Introduction | The aim of The Westminster International Law and Theory Centre is to bring together diverse yet overlapping strands in the study of international law, which more often than not are pursued in isolation. While looking at the concepts, structures, mechanics and limits of international law, the focus remains on the link between the applied and the theoretical. This builds on the existing research strength in both the applied and the theoretical and seeks to promote and facilitate common scholarly activities and projects, thus acting as a bridge between these two cultures and providing the sort of supportive context within which new research can flourish. Drawing on existing strength in the Law School in the areas of international law, governance, criminology, human rights law and legal theory, the Centre further develops and enhances research and collaboration both at a national and international level through fora such as conferences, workshops and seminars, which draw together academics, practitioners and activists. |
