Resource Struggles and International Law: Navigating Global Transformations

本项目将研究在全球转型时期，国际法如何塑造自然资源之争，以及如何被其塑造。它旨在产生关于不同行为者如何利用国际法维护其对资源的权威和权力以及确保获得自然资源的新知识。预期成果包括对二十世纪全球转型的三个关键时期进行的经验分析，以及对国际法在当前向零世界过渡期间如何影响自然资源斗争的社会法律分析。这将帮助各国更好地应对当前的法律、地缘政治和经济转型，从而带来显著的好处。

This project will examine how international law both shapes, and is shaped by, struggles over natural resources in periods of global transformation. It aims generate new knowledge about how international law is used by different actors to assert their authority and power over resources and to secure access to natural resources. Expected outcomes include empirical analyses of three key periods of global transformation in the twentieth century and a socio-legal analysis of how international law is shaping struggles over natural resources during the current transition to a net zero world. This should provide significant benefits by assisting countries to better navigate the current legal, geopolitical and economic transformations.
