The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was the first and most celebrated of a wave of international criminal tribunals (ICTs) built in the 1990s and designed to advance liberalism through international criminal law. Model(ing) Justice examines the practice and case law of the ICTY to make a novel theoretical analysis of the structural flaws inherent in ICTs as institutions that inhibit their contribution to social peace and prosperity. Kerstin Bree Carlson proposes a seminal analysis of the structural challenges to ICTs as socially constitutive institutions, setting the agenda for future considerations of how international organizations can perform and disseminate the goals articulated by political liberalism.
Kerstin Bree Carlson is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark and is affiliated with The American University of Paris and iCourts at the University of Copenhagen. Kerstin's research theorizes structural challenges inherent to international criminal law as a means of considering the potential social impact of international criminal justice. She is the recipient of two Fulbright awards (the first to Croatia, and the second to UNESCO in Paris), and several teaching awards.
