Rights of Nature in Europe
This book addresses the recognition of the Rights of Nature (RoN) in Europe, examining their conceptualisation and implementation. RoN refers to a diverse set of legal developments that seek to redefine Nature's status within the law, gradually emerging as a novel template for environmental protection. Countries like Ecuador and New Zealand, each with distinct histories and ways of dwelling in the world, have pioneered a new era in environmental governance by legally acknowledging rights or personhood for nature, ecosystems, and more-than-human populations. In recent years, Europe has witnessed growing interest in RoN, with academic, legislative, and political initiatives gaining momentum. A...

The Marine Environment and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14
In The Marine Environment and United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, leading marine experts assess the scope, achievements, and limitations of UNSDG 14 for the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. Chapters discuss the challenges and gaps of ocean governance through five key sections: Conservation and Sustainable Use of Oceans and Their Resources; Biodiversity beyond National Jurisdiction; Status of Deep Seabed Minerals; Marine Pollution and Coastal Ecosystems; and Climate Change and the Oceans. This important book illustrates current challenges facing sustainable marine development and management, and provides necessary insights for a coherent path forward.
Marine Conservation and International Law
This book provides a blueprint for an International Legally Binding Instrument (ILBI) for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). The development of an ILBI could signify a pivotal turning point in the law of the sea by addressing regulatory, governance and institutional gaps and deficiencies in the existing international law framework for BBNJ. This book analyses the essential components an ILBI will require to effectively conserve and sustainably use BBNJ, focusing on marine genetic resources, areabased management tools, environmental impact assessments, capacity-building and marine technology transfer. It investigates potential area...

De groene actiegids
Steeds meer burgers nemen het heft in eigen hand om een ecologische samenleving te creëren. Zij starten ecodorpen, voedselbossen, natuurscholen, ecologische bedrijven en geven hun lokale bos of rivier zelfs rechten. Dit boek neemt je mee op reis langs hun inspirerende verhalen en biedt een schat aan praktische tips om zelf aan de slag te gaan, met zowel grote als kleine groene projecten. Zo ontdek je hoe je een tiny house-gemeenschap start en een ecologische boerderij begint, maar ook hoe je verliefd wordt op consuminderen, je tuin transformeert tot groene oase, een kledingruil organiseert en nog zoveel meer. Of je nu een lichtgroene beginner bent of een doorgewinterde veranderaar, deze gids is jouw onmisbare metgezel op weg naar een groene toekomst. ‘Nadine Maarhuis is een van de pioniers van een radicaal nieuwe manier van journalistiek bedrijven. Met warme betrokkenheid in plaats van kille distantie, vanuit een ander wereldbeeld dan de meeste media, idealistisch en toch kritisch.’ – NRC-journalist Wouter van Noort
Un proceso constituyente democrático en Venezuela
El proceso constituyente que se llevó a cabo en Venezuela entre 1998 y 1999 está lleno de contradicciones que dan pie para analizar algunas de las causas que conducen a la posibilidad de un cambio constitucional y a todas las etapas de un proceso constituyente democrático. Escasamente conocido por la doctrina especializada en constitution-making, resulta sumamente útil para contrastarlo con otras experiencias históricas y extraer ricas y variadas conclusiones para diseñar procesos de cambio constitucional que estén guiados por principios de participación, inclusividad y transparencia. Así, en la primera parte de Un proceso constituyente democrático en Venezuela, el autor desarrolla...

Transnational Solidarity
The book analyses the concept and conditions of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities, drawing on diverse disciplines as Law, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology and History. In the contemporary world, we see two major opposing trends. The first involves nationalistic and populistic movements. Transnational solidarity has been under pressure for a decade because of, among others, global economic and migration crises, leading to populistic and authoritarian leadership in some European countries, the United States and Brazil. Countries withdraw from international commitments on climate, trade and refugees and the European Union struggles with Brexit. The second trend, partly a reaction to the first, is a strengthened transnational grass-root community – a cosmopolitan movement – which protests primarily against climate change. Based on interdisciplinary reflections on the concept of transnational solidarity, its challenges and opportunities are analysed, drawing on Europe as a focal case study for a broader, global perspective.
