Abstract
|
|
|
|
| The ecological violence of transnational production was visible long before Covid-19. The pandemic has proved that the state-capital nexus makes global capitalism much more resilient than the people and natural elements that it depends on. So, let’s try to use law and legal structures to curb, limit, regulate, improve and address the imbalances and inequalities that are proper of contemporary commodity capitalism. Particularly, the focus should be put on changes capable of addressing unequal bargaining power and serving as catalyst for trans-local organization and deeper reforms. We should not be blind to the constitutive role of law, the historical patterns of GVCs and to the fact that the ‘new normality’ cannot be structured around the same unbearable premises of the ‘old one’. |
