OUVRAGE : D. Dam de Jong, B. Sjöstedt (eds.), Research Handbook on International Law and Environmental Peacebuilding

Daniëlla DAM DE JONG, Britta SJÖSTEDT

This incisive Research Handbook addresses the growing recognition within the international law community that natural resource governance and environmental protection are crucial aspects of peace processes, both as a security imperative and as an opportunity for peacebuilding. Examining the impact of international normative and institutional frameworks on environmental peacebuilding, this Research Handbook features contributions from distinguished experts and global case studies on integrated legal approaches to the governance of natural resources. The emerging field of environmental peacebuilding has mainly drawn from disciplines like political science, peace and conflict studies, economics, and social geography, leaving international legal perspectives largely unexplored. This book seeks to address this gap by examining how international legal norms and institutions impact environmental peacebuilding.
