Competing Visions, Intersecting Legalities

Head back to programme.

Next session: 14:00-15:30 CET/8:00-9:30 EST

When faced with multiple legalities, how do we know what “the law” is, and how is this notion formed by different actors coming at this question from different vantage points? This panel investigates this question through different case studies, ranging from the post-colonial state of Papua New Guinea to Northern Colombia and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
