Rebecca Schmidt

I am assistant professor in law at Dublin City University. Prior, I obtained a Ph.D. from the European University Institute (Florence) and an LLM in International and Legal Studies from New York University.

In my work I examine a key feature of globalization, the rise of regulation beyond the state. I focus on the emergence of transnational regulatory cooperation between public and private actors, and in particular the interplay between expertise-driven private regulation and more traditional political authority in multi-level transnational regulatory networks. In my recent publications I particularly focus on technical standard setting and on the sports sector.
