William Burke-White, an expert on international law and global governance, served in the Obama Administration from 2009-2011 on Secretary Clinton鈥檚 Policy Planning Staff, providing the Secretary direct policy advice on multilateral diplomacy and international institutions. He was principal drafter of the听Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review听(QDDR), Secretary Clinton鈥檚 hallmark foreign policy and institutional reform effort. Burke-White has written extensively in the fields of international law and institutions, with focus on international criminal and international economic law. His work has addressed issues of post-conflict justice; the International Criminal Court; international human rights, and international arbitration. His current research explores gaps in the global governance system and the challenges of international legal regulation in a world of rising powers and divergent interests. In 2008 he received the A.
