Peuples et sociétés sont dépossédés de leurs moyens d'existence à travers le monde par la destruction de leur environnement. Face à cet écocide, comment repenser les droits de l'homme ? L'écocide (fait de détruire la " maison Terre ") n'est pas un crime de plus, s'ajoutant à toutes les autres atteintes aux droits humains. Il est désormais le crime premier, celui qui ruine les conditions mêmes d'habitabilité de la Terre. D'ores et déjà, les dérèglements en cours attisent injustices et tensions géopolitiques tandis que ceux qui saccagent la planète restent impunis. Aussi est-il urgent de revendiquer de nouvelles formes de responsabilité et de solidarité. Urgent de redéfi...
This handbook explores the dynamic new field of Environmental Restorative Justice. Authors from diverse disciplines discuss how principles and practices of restorative justice can be used to address the threats and harms facing the environment today. The book covers a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical discussions about how to incorporate the voice of future generations, nature, and more-than-human animals and plants in processes of justice and repair, through to detailed descriptions of actual practices of Environmental Restorative Justice. The case studies explored in the volume are situated in a wide range of countries and in the context of varied forms of environmental harm – f...
Grâce à des conditions climatiques favorables et à des milieux de vie fertiles et foisonnants de bio-diversité, nous avons prospéré pendant des millénaires. Toutefois, depuis deux siècles, nous avons malmené l'écosystème qui nous abrite et nous nourrit car nous évoluons comme hors-sol, isolés du reste du vivant, oubliant que nous sommes des êtres de nature. Nous devons réapprendre, à l'image des peuples premiers, notre rôle de gardiens. Nous devons retrouver le chemin d'une cohabitation harmonieuse avec les arbres, les plantes et les animaux mais aussi entre nous. Cette démarche exige de baisser nos armes économiques, de questionner notre rapport à la propriété, de limiter la souveraineté des Etats, de repenser la démocratie. Elle impose enfin de reconnaître que la, nature a le droit d'exister et de se régénérer. C'est ainsi que nous pourrons garantir aux générations futures le droit à vivre dans un environnement sain et pérenne.
We live in a diverse world.We have people who believe in science, read/learn to see what's going on and then act on what we need to do to help our planet heal. But there also those that still question it. What is it going to hurt if we make our Earth clean and green? But if we do nothing we will suffer the horrible consequences. Let's NOT gamble with our children's lives (and our own)!Taking any positive action can ONLY help our planet not hurt it.... Read my book to find out on alarming facts about our Earth and about those that make a positive difference for all of us!
Widespread poverty and malnutrition, an alarming refugee crisis, social unrest, and economic polarization have become our lived reality as the top 1% of the world’s seven-billion-plus population pushes the planet—and all its people—to the social and ecological brink. In Oneness vs. the 1%, Vandana Shiva takes on the Billionaires Club of Gates, Buffet, and Zuckerberg, as well as other modern empires whose blindness to the rights of people, and to the destructive impact of their construct of linear progress, have wrought havoc across the world. Their single-minded pursuit of profit has undemocratically enforced uniformity and monocultures, division and separation, monopolies and external...
This Handbook is a collection of contributions of more than 300 researchers who have worked to grasp the Anthropocene, this new geological epoch characterised by a modification of the conditions of habitability of the Earth for all living things, in its biogeophysical and socio-political reality. These researchers also sought to define a historical and prospective anthropology that integrates social, economic, cultural and political issues as well as, of course, environmental ones. What are the anthropological changes needed to ensure that our human adventure will be able to continue in the Anthropocene? And what are the educational and political issues involved? Anthropocene is fast becomin...
A critical, intercultural and interdisciplinary review of our relationship with the environment, and its reflection in law and governance.
This volume, which is rooted in biogeophysical studies, addresses conceptions of political action in the Anthropocene and the tension between a desire to accomplish the Promethean project of modernity and a post-Promethean approach. This work explores the idea of an anthropological mutation of political consolidation from a “post-Promethean togetherness”, to creating the capacity to act together. The political thinking of the human condition developed by Hannah Arendt is important here as a resource for thinking about humanity in terms of human adventure. This has three dimensions: hubris, the world and coexistence referring respectively to the logic of profit of the homo oeconomic...
Anthropocene and Cosmopolitan Citizenship criticizes the Westphalia system of international relations and, as an alternative, proposes cosmopolitan citizenship. The book offers a critique of the theory of international relations based on the Westphalian system and the principle of national sovereignty. At the end of the Second World War, the two superpowers agreed on a new international order that, to this day, has prevented a new world war. This era is over. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the economic and political affirmation of new international powers – such as China, India and Brazil – have generated a multipolar world, in which growing tensions between great and small powers ...
