The Pathology of Plenty - Natural Resources in International Law

This open access book argues that international law impacts on the resource curse, but that this impact can be unexpected and (at times) unpredictable. It illustrates how the law''s role in resource-cursed countries is at once constitutive, preventive, remedial and punitive. The author draws on different fields of public international law to show how law can be both implicated in, and responsive to, the resource curse. This will be important reading for scholars in the field of international law and international development. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
