Alon Jasper

Post-Doctoral Global Fellow

Global Fellow Alon Jasper

Alon is a Post-Doctoral Global Fellow affiliated with the Institute for International Law and Justice (IILJ). Alon is interested in the role of infrastructure as a legal term and the history of regulation. At NYU, Alon will investigate the EU’s efforts to extend its regulatory reach beyond its borders, particularly in digitalization and global value chains (GVCs). By examining EU transnational investment policies, digitalization regulations, and “critical” laws, his research will shed light on the EU’s influence on global infrastructures and the associated democratic implications.

In a second paper, Alon examines the decline of the Public Utility Concept (PUC), which once dominated economic and social regulation in the United States and the emergence of the concept of infrastructure as a discursive object in current legal and political discussions. The research will involve a quantitative analysis of federal law to trace the use of “infrastructure” in the last decades.

Alon’s doctoral thesis, written at Tel Aviv University, examines the regulation of railroads in the nineteenth-century United States and their implications for current regulatory challenges. Alon also writes about institutional aspects of the Israeli judiciary and has published the first systemic account of the social and professional composition of the Israeli Judiciary. Alon also writes about issues of equality and democracy in Israel-Palestine, co-authoring a paper on the Palestinian Authority’s engagement with Human Rights Treaty bodies and co-authoring a paper on inequality in Internet access between Jews and Palestinians in Israel.

Alon was previously a fellow of the Azrieli Fund and the Chief Justice Meir Shamgar Center for Digital Law and Innovation. He clerked in the Israeli Supreme Court. His papers can be found here. For the Israeli Judiciary Database see here.
