Global Warming: A Second Coming For International Law?, Deepa Badrinarayana

Deepa Badrinarayana

This paper analyzes the role of international law in addressing global warming through the lens of a select number of compliance theories and rational choice theory. It presents an alternative view to the limits of international law in addressing climate change, i.e., that international law has created an economic dependency that has constrained the space for pursuit of traditional legal rights. In making this argument, this article examines the history oil exploration and climate policy. The article also makes some brief suggestions towards increasing the space for traditional legal rights.
