The Kooijmans Institute for Law and Governance hosts six research programmes. Each programme's line of research relates to the central theme of Law and Governance.
The institute approaches legal issues from an international, transnational or meta-legal perspective, and steers its publications towards international scientific debate. The institute's research lies at the interface between various disciplines, or between legal subdiscipines, for example between public and private law. Renewing insights are found at these boundaries of (sub)disciplines.
