This book presents a legal genealogy of biodiversity - of its
strategic use before and after the adoption of the Convention on
Biological Diversity, 1993. This history of 'genetic gold' details
how, with the aid of international law, the idea of biodiversity
has been instrumentalized towards political and economic aims. A
study of the strategic utility of biodiversity, rather than the
utility of its protection under international law, the book's focus
is not, therefore, on the sustainable or non-sustainable use of
biodiversity as a natural resource, but rather on its historical
use as an intellectual resource. Although biodiversity is still not
being effectively conserved, nor sustainably used, the Convention
on Biological Diversity and its parent regime persists, now after
several decades of operation. This book provides the comprehensive
answer to the question of the convention's continued existence.
Drawing from environmental history, the philosophy of science,
political economy and development studies, this book will be of
interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in
Environmental Law, International Law, Environmental Studies, and
Ecology.
