Abstract

The book assesses emerging powers’ influence on international economic law and analyses whether their rhetoric of reforming this ‘unjust’ order translates into concrete reforms. The questions at the heart of the book surround the extent to which Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa individually and as a bloc (BRICS) provide alternative regulatory ideas to those of ‘Western’ States and whether they are able to convert their increased power into influence on global regulation. To do so, the book investigates two broader case studies, namely, the reform of international investment agreements and WTO reform negotiations since the start of the Doha Development Round. As a general outcome, it finds that emerging powers do not radically challenge established law. ‘Third World’ rhetoric mostly does not translate into practice and rather serves to veil economic interests. Still, emerging powers provide for some alternative regulatory ideas, already leading to a diversification of international economic law. As a general rule, they tend to support norms that allow host States much policy space which could be used to protect and fulfil socio-economic human rights, especially – but not only – in the Global South.

Abstract

Long description: Eine Million Arten sind in den nächsten Jahren vom Aussterben bedroht. Immer wieder bekräftigen die Vereinten Nationen und Regierungen, die Biodiversität schützen zu wollen. Doch die politischen Ziele werden immer wieder verfehlt. Kann der Schutz der Biodiversität juristisch erzwungen werden? Dazu wurde schon vor Jahrzehnten die Idee eines Klagerechtes für Tiere und Ökosysteme entwickelt. Auch aktuell fordern NGOs und Jurist:innen das Konzept der »Natur als Rechtsperson«. Ist eine solche Weiterentwicklung des Rechts möglich und kann sie Biodiversität schützen? Die Autorinnen und Autoren führen Einsichten aus Ethik, Biologie, den Sozial- und Rechtswissenschaften zusammen: Wie kann man Rechte der Natur begründen? Wie sehen sozialökologische Beispiele aus, in denen Biodiversität und menschliche Ressourcennutzung nicht in Konkurrenz zueinander treten? Was wären die gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen, wenn Rechte der Natur anerkannt würden? Biographical note: Frank Adloff ist Professor für Soziologe, insbesondere Dynamiken und Regulierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, an der Universität Hamburg und Co-Direktor der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«. Tanja Busse, Dr. phil., ist Autorin und Moderatorin und Fellow als »Writer in Residence« an der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«.
