A new, open access article I co-authored with Yixian Sun and Defne Gonenc is out in online first view for the journal International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics.
The article, which will eventually be part of a Special Issue harnessing the first decade of Earth System Governance (ESG) scholarship on issues of access and allocation, reviews the ESG literature to understand what we have learned (and what we still don’t know) about the impacts of the global economic system on resource inequality. In particular, the review shows that while ESG scholarship has begun to highlight the dynamics of unfair access and allocation deriving from the global economic system (e.g. direct impacts of trade and investment on environmental inequality and socioeconomic opportunities, indirect equity implications of environmentally motivated restrictions in international trade and investment regimes), critical questions remain about the identity of vulnerable groups and the potential pathways for more equitable sharing of benefits and burdens.
