This project explores the transformation of knowledge about the global economy in international law. Legal regimes for trade and investment, which govern economic relations between states, measure aspects of the economy in order to make determinations about legal rights and remedies. Over the last decade, some states have drawn on an alternative paradigm of knowledge of the economy, moving away from measurement and market liberalisation to the identification of strategic goods and critical industries. This project will draw on the history and theory of international law to examine the relationship of these concepts to key twentieth-century developments, including the process of decolonisation and questions of how law should govern the relationship between the state and commercial actors. In doing so, it will contribute to understanding the significance of this transformation for ongoing struggles over distribution between and within states.

该项目探讨了国际法中有关全球经济的知识的转变。贸易和投资的法律的制度管理国家之间的经济关系，衡量经济的各个方面，以便确定法律的权利和补救措施。在过去十年中，一些国家借鉴了另一种经济知识范式，从衡量和市场自由化转向识别战略商品和关键产业。该项目将借鉴国际法的历史和理论，研究这些概念与二十世纪主要发展的关系，包括非殖民化进程和法律应如何管理国家与商业行为者之间的关系的问题。在这样做的过程中，它将有助于理解这种转变对国家之间和国家内部正在进行的分配斗争的重要性。
