Beskrivning
What is the relationship between law and capitalism - and what happens when their foundations collide with the climate crisis? In this groundbreaking work, A. Claire Cutler reveals how transnational corporations and the laws that shield them perpetuate environmental destruction while evading accountability. Developing a critical political economy analysis, Cutler traces the origins of corporate privilege in international law and shows how today's investment and value chain regimes reinforce this protected status, contrasting starkly with the precarious legal position of climate-displaced individuals. Challenging dominant theories that treat the crisis as abstract, Cutler argues for a transformative praxis of transnational law that confronts corporate responsibility head-on. In search of a utopian possibility for a better world order, this book examines the contradictions at the heart of law and capitalism and asks whether a just, sustainable future is still possible.

'A. Claire Cutler has provided a compelling account of how we must challenge the primacy of transnational capitalism in theoretical terms if we are to chart a course of redemption, which will be difficult but not impossible. It is a masterly statement from a distinguished scholar that will advance scholarship in multiple disciplines.' Randall Germain, Professor, Department of Political Science, Carleton University
