Darina Petrova

Post-Doctoral Global Fellow

Global Fellow Darina Petrova

Darina Petrova is a Post-Doctoral Fellow affiliated with the Institute for International Law and Justice. Her research explores the mechanisms of global governance and the outcomes that they produce, employing the analytical frameworks of critical legal studies and science and technology studies (STS).

Darina obtained her doctoral degree from Sciences PO Law School. Her doctoral dissertation examined how the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) legitimized its members as a community of developed nations, created cause-and-effect narratives accepted as 'common sense' in global governance, and influenced various fields of international law. Her post-doctoral research at the University of Helsinki delved into the legal dynamics underpinning green development by examining Nordic investments in wind energy in the Global South. At NYU, Darina’s research will focus on the BRICS project and its implications for international law and global governance.

Previously, she has been a visiting researcher at Harvard Law School and the Erik Castrén Institute of International Law and Human Rights. She has taught public international law at Sciences PO and seminars on sustainability in global governance at the University of Helsinki. Prior to academia, Darina worked as a Legal Analyst at the OECD Environment Directorate’s Unit for Accession and Global Relations and interned at the UN Department of Political Affairs and the International Court of Justice.
