Biography

Akbar joined the Uzbek bar in 2003. He holds degrees from the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (Uzbekistan), the University of Essex, the University of Hull, and Harvard Law School. He is a former member of the Executive Council of the Asian Society of International Law. He likes green tea and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 

Research interests

Akbar teaches on a variety of international law courses on the LLB and the LLM programmes.

His main research interests lie in the areas of international economic law and general international law, with a particular interest in law and development, history of international legal thought, economic coercion, and North-South tensions. Sometimes he also tries to moonlight as a legal theorist. When that happens, he usually tends to be drawn to discourse analysis, semiotics, and critical legal studies. The rest of the time he just sticks to what he likes to believe is law and economics.
