JAMES TUNNEY - WRITER, PAINTER & SPEAKER
Sample of Academic Works
I have an honours degree from Trinity College Dublin. I qualified as a barrister at the Kings Inn Dublin. I then received an LLM from the University of London which involved studying at Queen Mary College and UCL. I taught at Dundee Institute of Technology, Abertay and St Andrews as a lecturer and senior lecturer. I was a Visiting Professor in France, Germany and China.
I have written extensively at the highest academic level. I have been published in internationally refereed journals, books and magazines such as The Economist Intelligence Unit. I have presented in about 30 countries including at the highest legal levels such as with the Chinese Academy of Social Science and the European Academy of Law. My papers have been presented at numerous academic conferences in law and in other disciplines such as political science, heritage studies and travel and tourism.
I was a director of the Scottish University Law Institute and on the Advisory Board of the Juridical Review. I was a member of organisations such as the International Federation of Travel and Tourism lawyers and the British and Irish Legal Educational Technology Association. I worked as an international legal consultant or jurisconsult for international bodies such as the UN Development Program. I have been invited to participate in key discussions by bodies such as the World Heritage Organisation, High Court of Beijing and the Irish Government.
I set up a degree program in European Business law and an Erasmus European network in that domain. I established modules in subjects such as Communications Technology law, EU Competition law, Free Movement, China and World Trade and Intellectual Property law. I was also very interested in culture, heritage and the law with particular emphasis on indigenous rights. These were all part of the process of globalisation. In that context I sought to develop an idea of pragmatic cosmopolitanism.
