The Pathology of Plenty: Natural Resources in International Law

This symposium brings together a set of reflections on The Pathology of Plenty: Natural Resources in International Law by Lys Kulamadayil. The contributions take up the book’s central concern with how international law shapes the governance of natural resources and explore how these dynamics continue to play out today. Across different perspectives, they engage with questions of sovereignty, inequality, and power, and consider how law remains entangled with ongoing struggles over land, resources, and self-determination.
