- In this blog post symposium we are pleased to showcase our work and that of our authors of the International Law and Posthuman Theory (Routledge, 2024) on the Planet Politics Institute Blog. Over a series of forthcoming posts, several of our authors will discuss their work, exploring how their chapter speaks specifically to planet politics. While many of the chapters in the collection speak directly to environmental issues, most notably those in the section of the book titled ‘The Environment and the Nonhuman,’ what we found interesting, when reflecting on the works, is how each of them, in some way, speak back to the environment – be that through discussions of land, property and ownership or through a focus, for example, on the links between “old” and “new” materialism, or on racial capitalism. Interestingly, it seems that using a critical posthuman lens ensures that the environment, whether framed as nature itself or more broadly as matter, remains at the forefront of thought even when analysing topics that do not, on the face of it, seem to have much to do with environmental issues. This, for us, is one of the strengths of posthuman theory, in that it allows for a bringing together of multiple vectors of oppression and multiple issues of critical concern together, allowing for links to be drawn between, for example, between coloniality, capitalism and gender and the impact of those structures on the environment, legally, conceptually and practically.
