The Wretched of the Global South
Zusammenfassung: The books aims to discuss and present an alternative epistemology of human rights, against the background of the globalization from below. The interdependent network of transnational networks, ranging from social movements, NGOs, and other groupings, questions the neoliberal paradigm and a particular set of human rights. This book wishes to transform this discourse on human rights and amplify the subaltern voices. The book also aims to highlight alternative practices of freedom that decenter human rights as a liberation discourse. Following Julia Suarez-Krabbe in "Race, Rights and Rebels", the authors aim to amend to practices of freedom that center different orders of knowl...
Sustainable Consumption
This book provides a broad understanding of whether law plays a role in influencing patterns of sustainable consumption and, if so, how. Bringing together legal scholars from the Global South and the Global North, it examines these questions in the context of national, transnational and international law, within single and plural legal systems, and across a range of sector-specific issue areas. The chapters identify how traditional legal disciplines (e.g. constitutional law, consumer law, public procurement, international public law), sector-related regulation (e.g. energy, water, waste), and legal rules in specific areas (e.g. eco-labelling and packing) engage with the concept of sustainabl...
Judicial Responses to Climate Change in the Global South
This book explores how judiciaries in different parts of the world are responding to climate change and how climate change intersects with the law. It offers feminist approaches to the judicial responses to climate change in the Global South, providing both jurisdictional and thematic reviews. Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues facing humankind, and is currently reshaping geopolitics, governance, law, and international relations around the world. The book’s originality lies in its endeavour to highlight judicial perspectives on climate change from prominent female researchers who have been working on this subject professionally and/or academically, bringing both regional and international views to the subject. The main objective is to give a new meaning to the study of climate change by bringing together the most recent aspects, including climate litigation, eco-constitutionalism and the environmental rule of law, climate and environmental justice, climate geopolitics and climate governance. The book will be of interest to students, academics, and scholars of climate law and environmental law around the world.

Sustainable Development, International Law, and a Turn to African Legal Cosmologies
This original book analyses and reimagines the concept of sustainable development in international law from a non-Western legal perspective. Built upon the intersection of law, politics, and history in the context of Africa, its peoples and their experiences, customary law and other legal cosmologies, this ground-breaking study applies a critical legal analysis to Africa's interaction with conceptualising and operationalising sustainable development. It proposes a turn to non-Western legal normativity as the foundational principle for reimagining sustainable development in international law. It highlights eco-legal philosophies and principles in remaking sustainable development where ecological integrity assumes a central focus in the reimagined conceptualisation and operationalisation of sustainable development. While this pioneering book highlights Africa as its analytical pivot, its arguments and proposals are useful beyond Africa. Connecting global discourses on nature, the environment, rights and development, Godwin Eli Kwadzo Dzah illuminates our current thinking on sustainable development in international law.

COMENTÁRIOS AO CÓDIGO DO MEIO AMBIENTE DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL: LEI ESTADUAL Nº 15.434/2020
O livro, como se depreende de sua leitura, é obra densa que enfoca as principais questões jurídicas relativas ao meio ambiente gaúcho. [...] Por serem gaúchos, os autores escolheram comentar o seu código ambiental e, neste ponto, dão uma bela lição a nós todos que não militamos na advocacia do Rio Grande do Sul: é praticamente inexistente a produção doutrinária jurídica sobre a legislação ambiental estadual, apesar da importância que ela tem para a proteção do meio ambiente e para o dia-a-dia dos profissionais do direito. Esperemos que o exemplo frutifique e que sejam produzidos trabalhos sobre a legislação estadual de outros integrantes da federação. Todos os aspect...
