Description
Book SynopsisInternational law is increasingly applied in the field of natural resources. This reflects the current and challenging problem of mankind, namely how should increasingly rare natural resources or commodities be explored and exploited. This collection draws on the experts in the field to explore questions such as mining and human rights; national resources and investment law; and authority over natural resources. Though asking probing questions from different sectors, each contribution keeps the big picture and the underlying conditions in mind to answer the collection’s research questions with one voice.
