Martin Kyrgier

Martin Krygier is Professor of Law and Co-Director of the European Law Centre at the University of New South Wales. His work overlaps legal, social and political theory. He is interested in exploring variations in the characters, consequences and worth of large institutions, among them state, bureaucracy and law, and the interrelations between such variations and morally justifiable social practices. Since 1989, he has been writing about the prospects for the rule of law and civil society in post-communist Europe. He also participates in public debate, most recently over the history of white-Aboriginal relations in Australia.
