Dr Katja Ziegler
Reader in European and Comparative Law, Erich Brost University Lecturer, Faculty of Law, St. Hilda's College
Dr Katja Ziegler jur., Rechtsanwältin (qualified barrister/solicitor). Dr Ziegler has been Lecturer in Law at the University of Oxford since 2002, first as DAAD Fellow and Deputy Director of the Institute of European and Comparative Law and since 2007 as the Erich Brost University Lecturer. She is also a Fellow at St Hilda’s College. Prior to taking up her position in Oxford, she was a Rechtsanwältin (attorney) in European Competition Law and regulatory affairs in Brussels and a lecturer in law at the University of Bielefeld, Germany.
Her research interests lie in the fields of European, public international law, human rights and (comparative) constitutional law. Among her publications is a monograph in public international law entitled Fluchtverursachung als völkerrechtliches Delikt. Die völkerrechtliche Verantwortlichkeit des Herkunftsstates für die Verursachung von Fluchtbewegungen [Causing Refugee Flows as a Delict under Public International Law. State Responsibility of the State of Origin for the Causation of Refugee Flows] (Berlin, Duncker & Humblot 2002). She is the editor of Constitutionalism and the Role of Parliaments (together with Denis Baranger and Anthony Bradley) which also contains her chapter entitled ‘Executive Powers in Foreign Policy: The Decision to Dispatch the Military’. She is also the editor of Human Rights and Private Law: Privacy as Autonomy, to which she contributed the chapter ‘The Princess and the Press: Privacy after Caroline von Hannover v Germany’ (both books with Hart Publishing, Oxford 2007).
Current research projects include the influences and effects of un-codified versus codified human rights on legal systems and the competences of the executive and legislature in foreign policy. On an aspect of this she was an expert witness to the House of Lords Constitution Committee in the Committee’s Inquiry into War-Making Powers in December 2005 (15th Report of Session 2005-06).
