About the group
This research group develops and maintains legal knowledge related to energy, the environment and property in land – with all its accessory natural resources. This field is given content by international law as well as domestic law, and the group follow closely how indigenous peoples law influences the field. Moreover, important ”perspectivising” disciplines, like legal history, law and economics, and legal philosophy, are also attributed weight.
Objective
The objective of the Group is to develop new research and research methods concerning management of natural resources and the environment, across traditional legal disciplines. Its general and strategic approach is to study natural resources and environmental law in the context of “relationships”:
- the relationship between private law issues and public law regulation,
- the relationship between environmental law and economic law or "sector law",
- the relationship between national and international law.
The group runs several research projects, mostly funded by the Research Council of Norway.
