Locating Nature. Making and Unmaking International Law
How does international law and its core concepts structure the ongoing ecological degradation and social inequalities? How can we (re)imagine a more equitable and sustainable relationship between law and nature? What can the study of international law teach us about the implications for law's corrective force in transnational contexts?
Join us for the launch of "Locating Nature: Making and Unmaking International Law" published by Cambridge University Press, and edited by the brilliant Usha Natarajan (Columbia) and Julia Dehm (LaTrobe).

This collection of essays on nature brings an imaginative and original dimension to debates about the future of international law. The authors uncover the impoverished concepts of nature that underpin fields such as international environmental law, international trade law, international development, sovereignty and territory. They argue, in many different ways, that ideas about nature are deeply connected with inequality. While sombre in its diagnosis, the book is also hopeful in identifying pathways for change.'Judge Hilary Charlesworth - International Court of Justice; Harrison Moore Professor of Law and Melbourne Laureate Professor, Melbourne Law School; Distinguished Professor, Australian National University
