Shai Agmon is Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Political Philosophy at University College London, jointly appointed in the Department of Philosophy and the European and International Social and Political Studies (EISPS) programme. His research sits at the intersection of political philosophy, law, and economics, and examines how the design of institutions shapes questions of equality, freedom, authority, and political change. Much of his work focuses on the philosophy of competition, democratic theory, institutional design, legal philosophy, and the normative limits of markets. His current research examines competition and polarization, as well as the depoliticization and judicialization of politics.
