Cohen's research critically examines the nexus of international law and political economy, with sustained focus on how legal frameworks shape global power structures. His scholarship interrogates transnational legal theory, private international law mechanisms, and the legitimacy crises within global governance systems—particularly investor-state arbitration—while exploring theoretical tensions between neoliberal paradigms and emerging post-neoliberal legal orders through contemporary political and social theory lenses.
Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals a concentrated scholarly trajectory examining the evolution of private international law amid systemic global economic shifts. This body of work demonstrates consistent engagement with power dynamics in transnational legal systems, emphasizing the role of contract law in global economic governance and the contested future of investment law frameworks, with particular attention to EU institutional reforms and post-neoliberal conceptualizations.
