Between benefit sharing and marginalization: A socio-legal study on lithium mining and indigenous peoples’ rights in the Atacama salt flat
Unexpected duet? Constitutions and investment treaties as the backbone of Latin American extractivist legality
Calls to defend sovereignty from international investment treaties are common in Latin America. Many protest that states are often put in the difficult position of choosing between their constitution and foreign investment, reducing the space for genuine democratic emancipation. This article proposes that we, Latin Americans, have been misguided by this representation. Extractivism, perhaps the major barrier to Latin American emancipation, thrive…
Mission Impossible? Promoting Global Sustainable Development in Times of National Industrial Policies
This paper argues that the growing space for industrial policies, at least in its present form and shape, is unlikely to promote sustainable development in most Global South countries, especially in the smaller economies. This claim builds on those who have thought about structural transformations for and from the Global South throughout history. This vision contrasts with the policy recommendations of Rodrik, Mazzucato, and others who promote in…
International Law, Acceleration and Desynchronization
According to sociologist Hartmut Rosa, the genuinely new thing about present-day globalization consists not in the international exchange of capital, goods or information ‘but rather in the speed with which they transpire’. Simultaneously, Rosa and others observe that not every aspect of social life accelerates at the same speed, which creates processes of desynchronization between and within the economy, society and politics. This article sugges…
Locating the 1948 Economic Agreement of Bogotá: The Rise and Fall of Latin America’s International Economic Law Project
This article claims that Latin America developed a competing International Economic Law project in the 1940s. These ideas and practices served the region to imagine its economic development process. Through the work of economists and lawyers – especially international lawyers – Latin America envisioned a future of industrialization and designed a strategy to make it happen. In the 1940s, many Latin Americans were enthusiastic about the prospects …
Seeing Santurbán through ISDS: A sociolegal case study of Eco Oro v. Colombia
This article aims to enrich the emerging, multi-coloured tapestry of ‘international law in context’ through a study of how international economic law operates in complex investment-related disputes. Focusing on the Eco Oro v. Colombia investor-state arbitration, and drawing on both doctrinal analysis and sociolegal research, the study investigates how different actors make sense of the issues, of the dispute, and of the law. Besides shedding ligh…

The International Trade Order and Development
The importance of trade for international law and development discussions is hardly surprising; international trade is consistently represented as an effective strategy for development. However, assuming that trade and law can contribute to the Global South’s development requires accepting that they can contribute to the opposite: underdevelopment. This chapter argues that the most important laws for the capitalist industrialisation of Western co…
Governing Global Capitalism: A Lawyer's Perspective
In April 1959, editor-in-chief of Time magazine, Henry Luce, spoke vehemently to the World Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce, encouraging business leaders “to unite [their] energies on something which is really fundamental—fundamental to civilization and economic progress. That something is the advancement of the rule of law.” Together with lawyers, business leaders had “the responsibility to see that the rule of law prevails in e…
Introduction to the Symposium on International Economic Law and Its Others
This symposium explores international economic law and "the others." 1 We define "the others" as the most vulnerable in contemporary societies to international economic law and the global economic processes that it supports, those who face oppression, adverse distributional consequences, and broader challenges to their way of everyday life. Their views are traditionally not represented, or at least not well recognized, within international econom…
Bridging the Gap between Foreign Investor Rights and Obligations: Towards Reimagining the International Law on Foreign Investment
This article proposes to see the history of the international law on foreign investment as about the promotion of investor rights as much as the resistance to investor obligations. The argument is that the divide between investment protection and the responsibility of foreign investors is one of the most significant features of international investment law. The article shows that the different treatment of rights and obligations is grounded in th…
Local communities, extractivism and international investment law: The case of five Colombian communities
This article investigates the relationship between the investment treaty regime and the social fabric of extractivist projects. Investment treaties are central to the political economy and narratives of extractivism. This international regime tilts the balance in favour of extractive projects by strengthening foreign investor rights and facilitating alliances between foreign investors and national elites. If states give in to environmentalist or …

Imagining Alternatives? Latin American Scholarship on International Economic Law and the Global Economic Order
This Article analyzes the role of Latin American international economic law scholarship within the global economic order. Many of the problems that Latin Americans face today relate to the global economy, such as labor conditions, access to medicine, and the use of natural resources, among others. The discussion of these problems, however, seldom recognizes the role of international economic law scholarship. Although the knowledge created by this…
Speed, law and the global economy: How economic acceleration contributes to inequality and precarity
The law is implicated in many of the relations that produce inequality and precarity in the global economy. It contributes in different ways to the unequal bargaining power between states, capital, and labour. One way that has attracted less attention so far relates to how the law accelerates economic relations. This article examines the role of law in the global economy not by focusing on the international economic institutions, such as the Worl…
The “Invisible” Local Communities: Foreign Investor Obligations, Inclusiveness, and the International Investment Regime
International investment law is relational. It is about how we define and govern the relationship between the actors involved in and affected by foreign investment projects. Most international investment law literature confirms the relational nature of this field. The scholarship has analyzed the resolution of specific disputes and the regulatory relationship between foreign investors and host states. As could be expected, some of the key issues …
The International Investment Regime After the Global Crisis of Neoliberalism: Rupture or Continuity
This article aims to show that the tools being used to recalibrate the \ninternational investment regime, in particular proportionality and corporate \nsocial responsibility, constitute continuity rather than rupture with \nneoliberalism and neoliberal legality. Neoliberalism has been discredited, and \nfew actors suggest a return to self-regulation after the 2008 global economic \ncrisis. This call for regulation, however, finds international ec…
Restrictions to Foreign Acquisitions of Agricultural Land in Argentina and Brazil
This review examines the recent reactions of the governments of Argentina and Brazil to land grabbing by foreign actors. In these two countries, national political parties, small and medium farmers, and the overall population perceive the recent surge of foreign acquisitions of land as a threat to national sovereignty. This political support translated into new regulations that restrict foreign acquisitions of agricultural land and aim to determi…
