Dr Tripkovic’s research focuses on the philosophical foundations of judicial review. His book ‘The Metaethics of Constitutional Adjudication’, which explores the metaethical foundations of value-based arguments in constitutional adjudication, is available on Oxford Scholarship Online and Oxford University Press websites. Dr Tripkovic has most recently published on legal-philosophical aspects of the use of foreign law in constitutional reasoning, and on transformation of legal enforcement in Europe. His latest publications are available on SSRN and Academia. In his current research, Dr Tripkovic explores the legitimacy of post-national judicial review, especially in the context of human rights adjudication.
