Universitetslektor
Juridiska institutionenOm Sari Kouvo
Jag är docent i internationell rätt och forskar om hur internationell rätt formas och utmanas av geopolitisk förändring, konflikter, krishantering, mänskliga rättigheter, genus, internationell straffrätt samt klimat- och säkerhetsfrågor. Min nuvarande forskning fokuserar på hur internationell rätt, institutioner och styrningsmodeller påverkas av geopolitisk förändring, klimatrelaterade säkerhetsrisker och ett försvagat multilateralt samarbete.
Under hela min karriär har jag kombinerat akademisk forskning med policy- och fälterfarenhet. Hösten 2025 återvände jag till Juridiska institutionen efter fyra år vid EU:s utrikesförvaltning, där jag arbetade med klimat och säkerhet, rättsstatsfrågor, mänskliga rättigheter och EU:s säkerhetspolitiska strategier för Sahel.
Mina tidigare engagemang inkluderar medgrundare och tidigare co-director för Afghanistan Analysts Network, handläggare vid enheten för krishantering vid EU:s utrikesförvaltning i Bryssel, programansvarig vid International Centre for Transitional Justice, forskare vid Amnesty International och rådgivare vid Office of the EU Special Representative for Afghanistan.
Jag har undervisat eller forskat vid bland annat Université libre de Bruxelles, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Kent University, Birkbeck University, NATO Defence College, Australian National University och Åbo Akademi. Jag disputerade i internationell rätt vid Göteborgs universitet 2004.
