ESIL IG on International Legal Theory will hold a workshop on the occasion of the 13th ESIL Annual Conference: ‘Global Public Goods, Global Commons and Fundamental Values: The Responses of International Law’, Naples, 7–9 September 2017.
Call for Papers: ‘Democracy and Participation versus Global Public Goods and Commons: Theoretical Challenges’
Democratic and participatory principles, although not free from challenges, are nowadays held by many to be a necessary component of (legitimate) international law. These challenges increase with the entry into international law and legal scholarship of the ideas of ‘global public goods’ and ‘global commons’.
This panel will reflect on challenges arising from democratic and participatory ideals vis‐à‐vis global public goods and global commons.
