Towards a Sustainable (Investment) Climate : A Case Study of Economic Normative Fit and the Evolution of Normative Intentions of Climate Change Financing in the World Bank Group 2000-2021Förell, Nora January 2022 (has links)
This thesis examines the evolution of normative intentions of climate change financing in the World Bank Group (WBG) between the years 2000–2021. The study contributes to critical constructivist International Relations theory by expanding on previous research on norm fit by examining the evolutionary process of economic normative fit. The purpose is to make visible, and provide an empirical example, of how hegemonic structures interact with suggested norms and set the conditions for possible action. The thesis asks the questions 1) How have normative intentions regarding climate finance been framed over time in World Bank Group documents in 2000–2021? And 2), How can this development be understood through an application of “norm fit” with the hegemonic economic structure? The thesis has a deductive qualitative approach and applies qualitative content analysis and framing analysis to examine official documents from the WBG consisting of biannual meeting communiqués, climate change action plans, and annual reports. The study finds that economic framings of climate change has varied in four key time periods and that ideas of climate action has gone from being seen as a peripheral issue outside the WBG mandate, to something costly and risky, to a potential opportunity and being framed as a business model of smart economics. Further, the thesis concludes that the case supports the idea of economic normative fit and illustrates, based on the findings of research question 1, how the climate change financing norm goes through a translation process of bad to good economic normative fit in which normative intentions adapt with time to a logic coherent with dominant neoliberal norms and can thus be accepted. With the most convincing result being the identified translation process of normative intentions of adaptation and resilience.

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
