This lecture has been cancelled due to ill health. It will be rescheduled for a later date. Apologies. Lecture summary: Rethinking International Law for the Commons Various social movements today seek to reclaim and reconfigure local and global resources, sites of production and infrastructures as commons. The lecture argues that key to successful processes of commoning is a revaluation of value. This revaluation entails understanding the value (singular), associated with capitalist markets, surplus and profit that is at the center of contemporary political economy. Attempts to redeem “values” (plural) such as democracy, sustainability and human rights that are omnipresent in political and legal discourses cannot succeed without understanding the constitutive role of law in processes of value production and valuation and unsettling their centrality. In reference to two sites of current struggles for the commons – global debates on the management of mineral resources in areas beyond national jurisdiction and local initiatives for the socialization of urban housing – the lecture explores international law’s significance for initiatives that seek to reclaim common wealth and govern it as common property.
