Abstract: Law’s capacity to transform unequal power relations depends on how legal action supports community organising and whether this support remains guided by communities’ own priorities and decisions. This matters because energy projects begin to transform territories before construction starts: Contracts establish claims over land, permits authorise particular uses, and administrative procedures determine whose participation counts. Indigenous peoples challenging these projects must therefore engage with institutions whose decisions helped make them possible.
