Nagi Koriki

Nagi Koriki is a DPhil candidate at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies (CSLS), University of Oxford, and Oxford-Uehiro Graduate Scholar. He is supervised by Professor Fernanda Pirie. His research interests include law beyond states and legitimacy of the international order.

Nagi holds an MSc in Political Sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and is expected to hold an MA from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany. He also holds a BA in Political Science from the Otto Suhr Institute, Freie Universität Berlin. Nagi moved to Germany at the age of 18 from Japan after his maternal hometown was severely affected by tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear accident.

His academic trajectory has been characterised by transdisciplinarity, spanning theory of law, politics and society, international relations, international social theory and anthropology. However, Nagi's central focus has always been on self-determination, sovereignty and order, and their interactions.
