Stuart S. Malawer, J.D., Ph.D. is the Distinguished Service Professor of Law & International Trade at George Mason University (School of Public Policy). He is an international lawyer who writes on public international law, foreign policy and international trade issues. He was a founding faculty member of the George Mason University School of Law and the founding Director of the Graduate International Transactions Program at George Mason University (International Institute). He was the founder of the Oxford Trade Program that was held at St. Peter's College, Oxford, and Geneva Switzerland, for over ten years. He has also led graduate study programs to India and China.

His law degree is from Cornell Law School and Ph.D. in International Relations is from the University of Pennsylvania. He did additional law studies at the Harvard Law School and Oxford University (St. Peter’s College). He received the Diploma from the Hague Academy of International Law (Research Centre for International Law and International Relations).

In 2009 he was named to the Board of Directors of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership by Virginia Governor Tim Kaine and confirmed by the Virginia General Assembly. In 1995 he served as the principal author of the international trade and investment report on Virginia Governor George Allen's commission on Virginia strategies.

Since the 1960s Malawer has written extensively on a broad range of international law, foreign policy, and international trade topics. His articles have addressed such issues as the legality of the Vietnam War, the validity of coerced treaties, treaty-making competence of the EU, European competition law, presidential foreign policy, national security, social science and international law, global trade relations, U.S. regulation of international business and trade, the dispute resolution system of the World Trade Organization, U.S.- China WTO trade litigation, cyberwarfare, and foreign investment and state economic development.

Malawer’s articles on coerced and imposed treaties have been cited by countries and scholars while contesting or assessing the validity of older colonial and boundary agreements. His writings on foreign policy and international law of President's Reagan's administration are often cited. Malawer’s scholarship from the very outset blended issues of trade, law, national security and foreign policy. This multidisciplinary approach and context is now very much in favor by those promoting an interdisciplinary approach to international relations and public policy addressing the pragmatic and professional issues of the day.

Malawer’s recent works include two casebooks: U.S. National Security Law and Policy (Hein and Company 2009) and WTO Law, Litigation and Policy (Hein and Company 2007) and his newest book Global Trade and International Law (Hein and Company 2012). His earlier five-volume treatise Federal Regulation of International Business was published in the 1980s by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He is the author of an additional three books on international law and over 100 articles. National and international scholars and policymakers have recognized Malawer's scholarship. For example, the Director-General of the WTO (Mike Moore) wrote the introduction to his WTO casebook, U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (Chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee) wrote the introduction to his national security casebook, and the former International Court of Justice Judge Richard Baxter from Harvard Law School wrote the introduction to his book on imposed treaties.

Malawer has consulted widely to various international trade and investment agencies in the federal government including the U.S. International Trade Commission and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. He has particularly active currently concerning trade issues involving state government, federal government and international organizations. For example, he has been a delegate on a number of state trade missions of Virginia Governors to China, India and Japan. He formerly served as Chairman of the International Practice Section of the Virginia State Bar.

Malawer has received various awards for his scholarship, teaching and public service. He received the Distinguished Faculty Member of the Year Award from the George Mason University Alumni and Recognition of Outstanding Scholarship from the university. He was awarded the Hardy Cross Dillard Award for Promoting International Relations from the Virginia State Bar (International Practice Section). For over twenty years he served as special editor for the international issue of the Virginia state bar journal.
