The Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law (MPIL) examines the legal frameworks that govern state interaction, global governance, and individual rights. Since its founding in 1924, the Institute has investigated the structural transformations of public law, linking historical analysis with contemporary challenges in international adjudication and constitutional design. Researchers at MPIL analyze how legal norms function under pressure, from the erosion of democratic institutions to the regulation of armed conflict.
