Andrew Long's research focuses on environmental governance, with an emphasis on developing legal responses to complex global environmental challenges.   He is particularly interested in the emergence of governance theories that account for the inter-connection of environmental issues with human quality of life at multiple scales, and in developing more effective practical approaches to these issues.  He has published over a dozen research articles and other works.  He is currently writing a book addressing the role of international environmental law in the broader system of global environmental governance.

For 2013-14, Long is serving as a Visiting Associate Professor of Law at UMKC School of Law in Kansas City, Missouri where he teaches Property and The International Legal Response to Climate Change.  He is a member of the Specialist Group on Energy Law and Climate Change within the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law and serves as a Vice Chair for Newsletters for the International Environmental Law and Resources Committee and the Endangered Species Committee of the American Bar Association, among other professional affiliations.  Long is a member of the bar in Oregon and New York.

Professor Long has also taught at the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law and Florida Coastal School of Law. Prior to entering academia, he clerked with the New York Court of Appeals and practiced law in Oregon. He received his J.D. from Willamette University College of Law, where he served on the Willamette Law Review, and his LL.M. from New York University School of Law, where he was selected as Graduate Advisor to the NYU Environmental Law Journal.
