Dr Ghouri’s research is interdisciplinary and focussed on critical and comparative approaches to international law and transnational discourses on Islamic law. These two apparently divergent fields find metalevel convergence in his enquiries about the Islamic state practices in international law and accommodation and interpretation of Islamic law and practices by secular states. The broader issues addressed in his research come down to transnational identities and practices reflected in public and private governance having economic as well as broader societal implications.

Dr Ghouri is willing to supervise PhD research and welcome proposals from prospective doctoral students who are interested in researching in any of the areas of International Investment Law, Global Capitalism, Law and Political Economy, Law and Religion, and Islamic International Law.
