Profile

Yoshiko Naiki

Hi, I have been appointed as Professor of International Law at the School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, from October, 2019. My work focuses on the functions of norms and regulations, in particular, regulations and standards concerning business activities and the environment/food safety/global health. My interests also include a wide range of regulation and governance, such as private standards/certification systems or public-private partnerships.

I have published articles on these topics in the Journal of Environmental Law, Journal of World Trade, International and Comparative Law Quarterly, European Journal of International Law and World Trade Review.
Before coming to Nagoya, I worked as associate professor at Osaka University (Graduate School of International Public Policy) and deputy director at the WTO dispute settlement section in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (Government of Japan). I was also a visiting researcher/scholar at University College London, Singapore Management University, and European University Institute.

I would be interested in supervising students in areas of regulation and governance generally, including the relationship between economic activities and the protection of environment/health (especially the ‘trade and environment’ area).
