Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Law and Political Economy examines the intersection of law, political economy, and environmental justice, with a particular focus on how historical legacies of colonialism, racism, and capitalism contribute to contemporary ecological crises. It analyzes the role of legal frameworks, including international law and investment law, in perpetuating racialized climate injustice and shaping patterns of resource extraction and land use. The journal also explores the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized communities and proposes legal and policy solutions for achieving climate justice and equitable adaptation.
