Nusratullah Nabeel Rahimi

Nusratullah Nabeel Rahimi is a doctoral researcher at the University of Warwick’s School of Law. His research project is focused on the theoretical tension between state sovereignty and the movement of refugees. He assesses this enigma through the lenses of Giorgio Agamben’s “Homo Sacer”, Michel Foucault’s concept of “biopolitics”, Ronald Dworkin’s theory of “Hercules”, and Jürgen Habermas’s ideas on the possibility of reconciling popular sovereignty with human rights.

Before joining the University of Warwick, Nabeel completed his second master's degree at the University of Sunderland with distinction. He also completed his first PhD at the University of Tabriz, also with distinction, writing a dissertation titled “Possibility of Formation of a New Paradigm in Law: Legal Positivism vs Post-Legal Positivism”.

Nabeel is the co-author of a Persian book titled “Electoral Systems”, which was awarded the Best Persian Book Award by ALPA-in-Exile, American University, Washington, D.C., in 2024.
