Daniel Bertram

Daniel Bertram is a researcher at the Department of Law, European University Institute (EUI), focusing on international legal frameworks, environmental justice, and critical approaches to law and governance. His work bridges qualitative methods with interdisciplinary analysis, emphasizing protest movements, ecological crimes, and regulatory systems. He is supervised by Neha Jain, a former EUI professor, and collaborates on themes intersecting law, society, and global policy.

His research explores the conceptual and practical dimensions of ecocide as an international crime, the role of visual advocacy in legal mobilization, and tensions between political authority and judicial institutions. He employs process tracing and hybrid positivist-interpretive methodologies to dissect these issues.

Daniel’s recent publications highlight conflicts over infrastructure in Latin America, the EU’s regulatory influence on environmental law, and the symbolic use of imagery in legal campaigns. His work contributes to debates on transnational justice and the evolution of public international law.
