The protection of indigenous peoples' lands from oil exploitation in emerging economies / by Alexandra Sophia Wawryk.

Bibliography: leaves 651-699. / 2 v. (x, 699 leaves) : col. map ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / "Through case studies of three emerging economies - Ecuador, Nigeria and Russia - this thesis analyses the factors present to a greater or lesser degree in emerging economies, such as severe foreign indebtedness and the absence of the rule of law, that undermine the effectiveness of the legal system in protecting indigenous peoples from oil exploitation. Having identified these factors, I propose that a dual approach to the protection of indigenous peoples' traditional lands and their environment be adopted, whereby international laws that set out the rights of indigenous peoples and place duties on states in this regard, are reinforced and translated into practice through the self-regulation of the international oil industry through a voluntary code of conduct for oil companies seeking to operate on indigenous peoples' traditional lands." / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Law, 2001
