Fernando Loayza Jordán is a Doctoral (JSD.) Candidate at Yale Law School, where he served as a Tutor in Law, and a Lecturer at Yale College, where he taught a course on tax and democracy. He is also a Visiting Assistant Professor of Tax Law at Drexel Kline School of Law, where he teaches Federal Income Tax, Supervised Research on International Law, and Law and Society. He has also taught tax law and legal theory in Peru and India.
His scholarship focuses on the interaction between taxation, justice, and democracy. He draws theoretical tools from fiscal sociology, law and political economy, and political philosophy. Currently, his primary research focus is the new international tax order, exploring new theoretical approaches to understand international tax justice and international tax peace. Additionally, his book project critiques how specific contractual approaches to taxation can be instrumentalized to protect power accumulation against redistribution instead of strengthening democratic policymaking. Finally, he is interested in comparative constitutional law, particularly in Latin American constitutionalism.
His work has been published (or is forthcoming) by, among others, the Tennessee Law Review, World Comparative Law, The Contemporary Tax Journal, and in the Edward Elgar Handbook of the Fourth Branch of Government. He has also written opinion pieces for newspapers in Peru, India, and the U.S., including in the New York Times.
