SubsidieMeestersThe Agency of Transnational Strategic Litigators in Global Governance
This project aims to develop a model of transnational collaboration among strategic litigators to enhance their agency in addressing global environmental governance challenges through comparative and qualitative research.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Litigators feature in a crucial role as we confront the pressing global environmental governance challenges of the 21st Century. They possess an agency which is capable of driving the evolution and implementation of law across national boundaries and at the supranational level.
Project Overview
This project proposes to develop a groundbreaking, explanatory model of transnational collaborations among strategic litigators. The model will account for:
- Their modes of collaboration
- How those collaborations affect their agency in controlling the issues in their respective fields
- How they negotiate complex ethical and professional challenges in their work
Research Methodology
It proposes to develop this model through the combination of:
- Comparative doctrinal research
- Inductive qualitative socio-legal research
This will be conducted across four case studies of strategic litigation:
- Climate change
- Large-scale land transfers
- Pollution caused by extractive industries
- Species conservation
Objectives
The project pursues the groundbreaking aim of explaining the multi-faceted and complex deliberations among transnational communities of litigators. These deliberations give rise to and shape the landmark cases transforming environmental governance in diverse national contexts.
Contribution to Sociology
With this contribution to the sociology of strategic litigators, the project will achieve a breakthrough in our understanding of how change can be initiated in legal systems. This understanding is crucial to overcoming perpetual obstacles and meeting our global environmental challenges.
Conclusion
The project aims to develop a groundbreaking model of an innovative type of agency and actor in global governance: the strategic litigator collaborating across borders. It seeks to understand how litigators drive states and their legal systems to act upon their ability to govern global environmental challenges, given the unlikeliness of it occurring through domestic and international lawmaking alone.
