\nCindy Wittke-Hohlfeld<\/strong> is Professor for Normativity in International Politics at the University of Regensburg and Head of the Department of Politics at the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS). Her research examines the politics of international law in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, with a particular focus on how legal norms, sovereignty claims, and international authority are contested and instrumentalised in contexts of war and protracted conflict. She has published widely in leading journals such as Europe-Asia Studies, Global Policy, and the Review of Central and East European Law, and is the author of Law in the Twilight<\/em> (Cambridge University Press, 2018) and co-author of Frieden verhandeln im Krieg (Negotiating Peace during War)<\/em> (2024). Her current work explores the role of international law in imperial continuity, territorial contestation, and the restructuring of global order.
