About this speaker
Britta Sjöstedt's research areas concern mainly environmental law, envionmental peacebuilding and law of armed conflict. Currently, she is involved in a research project funded by Formas mapping the international legal framework in regard to peacebuilding activities aiming at restoring and protecting the environment. The project studies the practice of stakeholders acting on the behalf of the international community to protect the environment by taking over state functions in developing states in the aftermath of armed conflict (post-conflict). It also looks into the tensions that may arise in such practice between the global, national and local stakeholders participating in peacebuilding.
