Negar Mansouri recently defended her thesis at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland. Her dissertation explores three parallel histories in the post-World War II global economy from a historical materialist perspective, and the role that four international organizations played in the processes through commodification and post-commodification socialization. The three cases are: International Telecommunication Union and liberalization of telecommunications networks and services, International Maritime Organization, UN Conference on Trade and Development and the rise of open shipping registries in the transport of raw materials on the sea, and International Tropical Timber Organization and the mass logging of tropical forests in the post-independence era. Prior to PhD, she completed a master’s in international law at the Geneva Graduate Institute and another master’s in public international law at Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran. Negar’s works have appeared in London Review of International Law, Journal of History of International Law, and International Organizations Law Review. She has also co-edited a volume titled Ways of Seeing International Organizations: Perspectives for International Institutional Law, currently under contract with the Cambridge University Press.
