Short description:
Examines how international law perpetuates global environmental injustice and how the system can be fundamentally reworked to address ecological crises.
MoreLong description:
For those troubled by environmental harm on a global scale and its deeply unequal effects, this book explains how international law structures ecological degradation and environmental injustice while claiming to protect the environment. It identifies how central legal concepts such as sovereignty, jurisdiction, territory, development, environment, labour and human rights make inaccurate and unsustainable assumptions about the natural world and systemically reproduce environmental degradation and injustice. To avert socioecological crises, we must not only unpack but radically rework our understandings of nature and its relationship with law. We propose more sustainable and equitable ways to remake law's relationship with nature by drawing on diverse disciplines and sociocultural traditions that have been marginalized within international law. Influenced by Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), postcolonialism and decoloniality, and inspired by Indigenous knowledges, cosmology, mythology and storytelling, this book lays the groundwork for an epistemological shift in the way humans conceptualize the relationship between law and nature.
'Against the backdrop of the intensifying and life-threatening ecological crisis, this pathbreaking volume seeks to challenge and reconfigure the assumptions that inform international law. Among other things, it underscores the need to reform global capitalism with its focus on commodification and subordination of nature. A must-read volume for all students of international law.' B. S. Chimni, Distinguished Professor of International Law, O. P. Jindal Global University
