Andrea de Guttry

Andrea de Guttry serves as Full Professor of Public International Law and Deputy Rector at the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, where he concurrently directs the DIRPOLIS Institute (Institute of Law, Politics and Development) and the International Training Programme for Conflict Management. His career spans high-level governmental roles in Italian ministries and extensive leadership of international projects across conflict zones worldwide.

His research expertise encompasses critical domains of public international law, specializing in conflict management frameworks, international disaster response mechanisms, and human rights protection systems. De Guttry's work consistently addresses practical legal challenges in post-conflict reconstruction, multistakeholder governance, and the regulation of transnational threats like foreign fighters.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a sustained scholarly focus on legal responses to contemporary global crises, with recurring themes including the intersection of sovereignty and humanitarian intervention, UN security architecture reform, and context-specific conflict resolution models across African and Middle Eastern contexts.

De Guttry has directed over a dozen major research initiatives, including an EU FP7-funded project on multistakeholder partnerships in post-conflict development, and coordinates training programs for the UN, EU, OSCE, and WFP across Africa, Central America, and the Middle East through partnerships with 20+ international institutions.

He leads the DIRPOLIS Institute's multidisciplinary research team focused on law-politics-development intersections and oversees the International Training Programme's field operations, which implement capacity-building initiatives in 15+ fragile states through partnerships with national governments and international organizations.
