ÌÇÐÄTV

Our inuaugral conference held at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV from 6 - 7 November 2019 was attended by almost 80 colleagues from all over the world. The depth and richness of the presentations and discussions at the conference were second to none. We promised to bring the conference to those who could not make it and our three-part blog symposia is way of us doing so.

This symposium offers diverse perspectives and timely contributions to the ongoing debate on the need to decolonise and pluralize IEL research and scholarship as a counterpoint to western-centric IEL imagination and teaching. Within this symposium are contributions on the history of IEL and origins of IEL theory alongside context specific examples marking out the intersections between IEL, business and human rights.

In this symposium our contributors use diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to invert dominant normative frameworks and understandings of IEL. It is split into two parts with the first three posts examining how critical approaches to IEL can provide a new frame for analysis, interrogation and critique of embedded structures of hegemony, inequality, and subjugation perpetuated by actors in international investment and international trade law. In the second part of the symposium, our contributors explore how we can ‘know and do IEL’ differently using epistemologies from the globalsSouth and alternative methodologies.
