Sustainable Global Economic Law
The 2024 ICON•S Annual Conference
8 July 2024
SGEL is hosting a panel at this year's Annual International Society of Public Law conference, 8-10 July, in Madrid. The panel asks how economic law broadly understood may need to be (re)designed at the global (EU, International, transnational) level to simultaneously foster redistributive justice, address various forms of inequalities, and confront the ecological catastrophe.
Speakers will tackle some of the following questions:
- How should we understand and possibly re-define the boundaries of economic law?
- How could private multinational actors be held accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation?
- Can climate strategic litigation truly address climate change?
- How does law structure the material conditions underpinning social reproduction, and what does that mean for gender-based and other forms of inequalities?
- What are the competing ways of (re) imagining global economic law that address current unequal power dynamics in sectors such as the digital economy or energy?
