Sustainability Lunchtime Seminars: Where Environmental Law Meets Economic Law

Abstract

This contribution will analyze the neoliberal biases behind International Economic Law (IEL) that make it blind to non-economic values. Following a Gramscian approach, IEL tends to hegemony via the separation of the economic dimension from a social and political ensemble. Much the contrary, all the debates around the idea of sustainability tend to converge on the assumption that environmental and climate challenges demand to unite these different dimensions. Different questions will be explored: is it possible to keep on thinking IEL in this hegemonic way in the Anthropocene? Is a counter-hegemonic voice possible to reshape IEL?
