Feminist approaches to international law have been mischaracterised by the mainstream of the discipline as being a niche field that pertains only to women’s lived experiences and their participation in decision-making processes. Exemplifying how feminist approaches can be used to analyse all areas of international law, this book applies posthuman feminist theory to examine the regulation of new and emerging military technologies, international environmental law and the conceptualisation of the sovereign state and other modes of legal personality in international law. Noting that most posthuman scholarship to date is primarily theoretical, this book also contributes to the field of posthuma...
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...
Examines questions of allegiance and identity in a globalised world through the disciplines of law, politics, philosophy and psychology.
Depuis les temps de la découverte, l'Australie a alimenté curiosité et fantasmes chez les Européens, puis une convoitise liée à son extraordinaire immensité, ses richesses minérales et sa diversité naturelle. Aujourd'hui la plupart de ses mystères ont été dissipés mais l'Australie fascine pourtant les Européens, comme si elle n'avait pas livré encore tous ses secrets. Peu de Français connaissent l'histoire de ce continent d'" en bas " qui, de l'autre côté de la terre, a dû conjuguer les traditions millénaires des peuples autochtones, la présence de bagnards et les exigences impériales de l'Angleterre. Devenue libre et moderne, l'Australie n'en demeure pas moins une nati...
A pioneering study that challenges the legal orthodoxy of sustainable development in international law from a non-Western perspective.
This book presents and evaluates theoretical approaches to 'pluralist jurisprudence' and assesses the viability of theorising law extending beyond the state.
Shows that law it is often better understood as an entangled web rather than as a coherent, orderly system.
The Routledge Handbook of Law and the Anthropocene provides a critical survey into the function of law and governance during a time when humans have the power to impact the Earth system. The Anthropocene is a “crisis of the earth system.” This book addresses its implications for law and legal thinking in the twenty-first century. Unpacking the challenges of the Anthropocene for advocates of ecological law and politics, this handbook pursues a range of approaches to the scientific fact of anthropocentrism, with contributions from lawyers, philosophers, geographers, and environmental and political scientists. Rather than adopting a hubristic normativity, the contributors engage methods, co...
Extending law beyond the human, the book probes the conceptual openings, methodological challenges and ethical conundrums of law in a time of deep socio-ecological disturbances and transitions. How do we learn and practice law across epistemic and ontological difference? What sort of methodologies do we need? In what sense does conjuring other-than-human beings as sentient, cognitive and social agents— rather than mere recipients of state-sanctioned rights—transform what we mean by “law” and “rights of nature”? Legal institutions exclusively focused on human perspectives seem insufficiently capable of addressing current socio-ecological challenges in Latin America and beyond. In ...
