BIO

Alexandra A.K. Meise is a visiting professor of national security studies at the US Army War College and an Associate Teaching Professor at the Northeastern University School of Law (NUSL). Her research on sovereignty, statecraft, national security, democratic participation, and human rights stands at the intersection of policy and public and private international law. To that end, her scholarship and teaching focus on the contributions of democratic institutions and economic development to rule of law and national security policy, especially in conjunction with public democratic participation and climate change’s effects on world order and governance.

Professor Meise’s work strengthening, promoting, and securing rule of law domestically and abroad has spanned five continents. She spent over a decade in legal practice preventing and resolving international disputes before assorted U.S. courts and international tribunals, including in terrorism and human rights litigation, in treaty-based international arbitrations and public international law disputes, and in designing and implementing legal reforms and human rights best practices. She has also worked for war crimes tribunals in Cambodia and Timor Leste; for the U.S. Department of State at posts in Europe; in international development in countries such as Yemen and Bosnia; and on election administration, observation, and strategy in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.

A publicly engaged scholar and speaker, Professor Meise’s contributions have appeared in assorted media outlets such as Just Security, the New York Times, the Columbia Journal of International Affairs, The Secure Line podcast, and NBC. Before Northeastern, she held academic appointments at Georgetown University, University of Pennsylvania, and Vermont Law School.
