Report Series

The Report Series at the Institute for the study of Political Economy and Law (IPEL) is produced by Research Associates and the broader research community of the International University College of Turin (IUC). The Report Series seeks to provide easily accessible explanation and analysis of recent developments within a variety of fields related to the study of political economy and law, drawing upon case law, legislation, and other relevant materials. In addition, the Report Series offers annual and special reports that seek to move beyond description to encourage alternative approaches that reveal blind spots in the contemporary architecture of global governance.

The Institute is currently accepting applications for Research Associates, and the Report Series is currently in preparation.
