Human Rights and Environmental Protection
This book explores the complex relationship between human rights and environmental protection. It analyses the concept of environmental procedural rights from a comparative perspective in the European Union, India, and China. Arguing the need to apply a holistic approach which acknowledges the interlinkages between democracy, environmental protection, and climate change, it examines both theoretical and practical dimensions of the topic, with case studies drawn from empirical research. The work highlights the important role of environmental procedural rights at the intersection of environmental law and human rights, emphasising the need for effective channels of communication between citizen...

Ethics and Politics of Space for the Anthropocene
Featuring an international, multidisciplinary set of contributors, this thought-provoking book reimagines established narratives of the Anthropocene to allow differences in regions and contexts to be taken seriously, emphasising the importance of localised and situated knowledge. It offers critical engagement with the debates around the Anthropocene by challenging the dominant techno-rational agenda that often prevails in socio-political and academic discussions.
Science, Technology, Policy and International Law
This book presents innovative insights into the intersections between science, technology, and society, and particularly their regulation by the law. Departing from the idea that law and science have similar methods and objectives, the book deals with problems, and solutions, that source from these interactions: concerns on how to integrate scientific evidence into trials, how to best regulate new technologies, or whether technological innovations could improve democratic legitimacy, create new regulatory tools or even new spaces of regulation, and what is the impact on the society. The edited collection, by building on a functionalist and comparatist approach, offers answers to how to best integrate law, science, and technology in policy-making and reviews the current attempts made at the transnational and international levels. Case studies, ranging from emerging technologies via environmental protection to statistics, are complemented by a solid theoretical framework, all of which seek to provide readers with tools for critical thinking in the reassessment of the relationship among theory, practice, political goals, and international regulation.
Environmental Law Across Cultures
This book provides a practical, functional comparison among various institutions, tools, implementation practices and norms in environmental law across legal cultures. This is a new approach that focuses on the act of comparison, looking at legal practice, from the ground up, including the perspective of citizens. Most literature on comparative environmental law either focuses on a two-way comparison of state jurisdictions or simply juxtaposes environmental features of two or more state jurisdictions without engaging in any analysis of the comparison. However, this book treats legal cultures as the objects of comparison as it provides practical comparisons among various institutions, tools a...
Globalization, Environmental Law, and Sustainable Development in the Global South
This volume examines the impact of globalization on international environmental law and the implementation of sustainable development in the Global South. Comprising contributions from lawyers from the Global South or who have experience in the Global South, this volume is organized into three parts, with a thematic inquiry woven through every chapter to ask how law can enable economies that can be sustained, given the limited carrying capacity of the earth. Part I describes and characterizes the status quo of environmental and economic problems in the Global South during the process of globalization. Some of those problems include redistribution of environmental burden on the public through...

The Transnationalization of Anti-Corruption Law
The last twenty years have witnessed an astonishing transformation: the fight against corruption has grown from a handful of local undertakings into a truly global effort. Law occupies a central role in that effort and this timely book assesses the challenges faced in using law as it too morphs from a handful of local rules into a global regime. The book presents the perspectives of a global array of scholars, of policy makers, and of practitioners. Topics range from critical theoretical understandings of the global regime as a whole, to regional and local experiences in implementing and influencing the regime, including specific legal techniques such as deferred prosecution agreements, addr...

Derecho ambiental a través de las culturas
Este libro es una comparación práctica y funcional entre instituciones, herramientas, prácticas y normas ambientales a través de distintas culturas legales. Se trata de un nuevo enfoque que se centra en la comparación de las prácticas legales «desde abajo», incluyendo las perspectivas ciudadanas. La mayor parte de la literatura sobre el tema se enfoca en comparaciones entre jurisdicciones estatales o en la yuxtaposición de rasgos ambientales de dos o más países sin mayor análisis comparativo. Sin embargo, este libro se organiza de modo tal que el lector se enfrenta a temas legales ambientales a través de ejemplos y estudios de casos de diversas culturas que son comparadas para ayudar a entender la materia. Los casos se basan en las experiencias de los autores en Australia, Brasil, China, Chile, Etiopía, Alemania, India, Nigeria, Eslovaquia y los Estados Unidos. La naturaleza comparativa del libro permite que los profesionales en cada país desarrollen habilidades que les permitan entender y ofrecer contextos más amplios, y a los estudiantes a tomar conciencia de los sistemas específicos y su funcionamiento en relación con su propio sistema legal.
