* Nicola Jägers holds the Chair International Human Rights Law at the Law School of Tilburg University in the Netherlands. Nicola is also a Commissioner at the National Human Rights Institute, the official NHRI of the Netherlands. Over the past ten years Nicola has worked on the transformations that have occurred in international (human rights) law relating to changes in the relationships between states and markets and changes in the regulatory roles and capacities of NGOs and transnational business corporations. In 2002, Nicola published one of the earliest books on the issue of corporate responsibility for human rights violations: Corporate Human Rights Obligations: In Search of Accountability. Ever since, the consequences of the two dominant faces of globalization—the expansion of trade across borders and the universalizing effects of the human rights movement—have remained Nicola’s core research interest resulting in participation in various research projects, and multiple publications on the issue. More recently, Nicola has begun to consider the ways in which regulatory approaches might be useful for the enforcement, socialization, and protection of human rights. She is also a member of the Dutch government's Advisory Committee on International Affairs, a member of the Executive Board of the Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights, and a board member of the Netherlands Network for Human Rights Research.
