CHRISTINA D. TVARNØ

Christina D. Tvarnø's primary research area is climate change law as part of international law, EU law and Danish national law. Climate change law is becoming more and more important for companies, citizens and societies globally. Now and in the near future, climate change law in the UN, the EU and in Denmark will affect the legal and economic options for both the markets and the policy decision-makers. Christina D. Tvarnø has, together with several researchers from CBS LAW, established a research group in climate change law. You can read more about the climate research group's work and research here.

 

For more than 20 years, Christina D. Tvarnø has worked with the contractual interaction in public private partnerships (PPPs), particularly within infrastructure projects in both Denmark and in the EU. PPP contracts are based on a number of specific contract characteristics, and her research shows that these characteristics are necessary for an optimal function of a PPP. An efficient PPP contract is based on the theory behind social contracts,  e.g. joint optimization, open books, incentives and trust--hence, an interplay between contract law and economics. She has participated in interdisciplinary research on PPPs both at CBS and through international research collaborations. You can see her reflections on interdisciplinary research on public private partnerships at CBS in the video below.

 

Christina D. Tvarnø has also published a number of international articles on partnering contracts between private contracts parties, which are published in, e.g., the Harvard Business Law Review and the Journal of Strategic Contracting and Negotiation.

 

In addition, legal method and legal philosophy have been a significant part of Christina Tvarnø's research area for more than 15 years. She has collaborated with Professor Emerita Ruth Nielsen, CBS LAW, on this topic, and they have created a theoretical framework for a new legal theory establishing a synthesis between legal positivism and legal realism in an EU perspective.
