The connection between ecology and conflict has been the object of
extensive study by political scientists and economists. From the
contribution of natural resource 'scarcity' to violent unrest and
armed conflict; to resource 'abundance' as an incentive for
initiating and prolonging armed struggles; to dysfunctional
resource management and environmental degradation as obstacles to
peacebuilding, this literature has exerted a huge influence upon
academic discussions and policy developments. While international
law is often invoked as the solution to the socio-environmental
challenges faced by conflict-affected countries, its relationship
with the ecology of war and peace remains undertheorised. Drawing
upon environmental justice perspectives and other theoretical
traditions, the book unpacks and problematizes some of the
assumptions that underlie the legal field. Through an analysis of
the practice of international courts, the UN Security Council, and
Truth Commissions, it shows how international law silences and even
normalizes forms of structural and slow environmental violence.
