The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is seen primarily as an international human rights instrument. However, the Declaration also encompasses cultural, social and economic rights. Taken in the context of international trade and investment, the UN Declaration is a valuable tool to support economic self-determination of Indigenous peoples. This volume explores the emergence of Indigenous peoples' participation in international trade and investment, as well as how it is shaping legal instruments in environment and trade, intellectual property and traditional knowledge. One theme that is explored is agency. From amicus interventions at the World Trade Organization to developing a future precedent for a 'Trade and Indigenous Peoples Chapter', Indigenous peoples are asserting their right to patriciate in decision-making. The authors, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous experts on trade and investment legal, provide needed ideas and recommendations for governments, academia and policy thinkers to achieve economic reconciliation.

Reviews for Indigenous Peoples and International Trade: Building Equitable and Inclusive International Trade and Investment Agreements

'… remarkable … Indigenous Peoples and International Trade significantly contributes to our understanding of an essential but under-examined subject.' J. Anthony VanDuzer, Journal of World Investment & Trade '… fills an important gap within the international trade and investment and indigenous peoples' socioeconomic development discourse, as it provides valuable context for understanding the present predicament of indigenous peoples in their quest to attain sustainable development … Indigenous Peoples and International Trade advances pragmatic and well-reasoned ideas to improve the current global economic development structure and expands the platform of international trade and investment agreements to accommodate indigenous perspectives and to facilitate inclusive socioeconomic conditions for indigenous peoples throughout the world.' Jide James-Eluyode, Journal of International Economic Law
