The need to reassess the discourse of sustainable development in terms of equity and justice has grown rapidly in the last decade. This book explores renewed and distinctive approaches to the sustainability and justice debate, integrating a range of perspectives that include moral philosophy, sociology and law. By bringing together young and senior scholars from the field of global environmental law and governance from around the world, this work is divided into three sections, covering sustainable development and justice, sustainable development in context, and sustainable development and judiciaries. This book will appeal to academics, law practitioners and policy-makers interested in shaping future socio-legal research on global environmental law and governance.

A study of major trends in public finance and fiscal justice in developed capitalist countries since the 1970s.
A blow to the head ends the life of the lawyer at the height of her career. Misdiagnosis: whiplash. Brain and back injuries remain untreated, and she jumps from the brink of death several times. Because the insurance didn't pay out, the mother of four's family was torn apart. Nine years later, she finds her way back to life through an operation. She retrains as a coach and shows how women can get from hell to heaven. She wins her case against the insurance company in the Federal Court, but has still not received any benefits. The lawyer realizes that she is not an isolated case; women in particular are subject to hidden discrimination due to incorrect biomechanical calculations. But a solution is found.
Occupy, Commons and other social experiments show: New collectivities are invented and tested. Gesa Ziemer enriches this debate through the insight that in the process, the reinterpretation of old forms of joint action can play an essential role. By looking at complicities in art, science and economy, ongoing collectivization is exposed. Complicity means the committing of an act together, so the definition of criminal law. But for a long time now the concept has also been targeted at legal collective actions - mainly in innovative environments. Individuals act jointly in an intensely affective way - albeit only temporarily, bindingly in common - but still individually, inventively - and at the same time in a goal-oriented manner.
