Strategic Choices in International Extractive Contracts
The process of internationalization can sometimes be justified by the search for raw materials in certain geographical areas. Relational, institutional and administrative aspects are often at the heart of the internationalization strategy. The use of “legal intelligence” must thus be integrated into this type of strategy. Nevertheless, how to articulate international development and legal approaches? Can we identify certain logics or regularities? This article intends to answer these different questions by insisting in particular on the evolution of the contexts of international transactions, through the comparative study of two South-South extractive contracts.
