Good Neighbourliness
Funded by a Marsden Fund Fast-Start grant, An is exploring the potential of “good neighbourliness” as a foundation for legal restrictions on states’ sovereign decisions in a world characterised by increasing interdependence. Obligations of good neighbourliness have developed in international environmental law to deal with the negative impact of a state’s decisions on the physical environment of another state. Yet, states’ decisions can cause a non-physical impact on another state, for example when they affect another state’s economy. International law has no clear answer on how to deal with non-physical impacts. An's research draws on the history of “good neighbourliness” in Roman law, municipal law, and international environmental law, to explore the concept’s potential as a foundation for legal restrictions on states' sovereign decisions that have a non-physical impact on other states.
International Law in Aotearoa/New Zealand
An recently finalized an edited book on International Law in Aotearoa New Zealand with Dr Anna Hood. The goal of the edited volume is to introduce international law from a New Zealand perspective. The focus is on evaluating how international law shapes New Zealand and works with(in) its legal system, as well as on New Zealand’s interaction with, contribution to, and attitude towards international law. The project is supported by a grant from the University of Auckland and funding from the Australian New Zealand Society of International Law. An has contributed two chapters: one studying New Zealanders who have been international judges, and another on New Zealand's international law academics.
Regulation of economic activity
An maintains an interest in the substance of states' regulation of economic activity, and particularly in competition and consumer law.
