SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book is an ethical critique of existing approaches to sustainable development and international environmental co-operation as a result of the existing attempt to contain the demands for global environmental justice within institutional boundaries."
Text of Note
"With specific focus on three environmental regimes, this book explores the way that various notions of justice feature both implicitly and explicitly in the design of global environmental policies. In so doing, the dominant conceptions of justice that underpin these policies are identified and, in turn, criticised on the basis of their compatibility with the normative essence of global sustainable development. The book demonstrates that, although moral norms have a far greater impact on regime development than is currently acknowledged, the core policies for the most part remain rooted in two neoliberal interpretations of justice, both of which undermine the ability to achieve sustainable development and international justice."--Jacket.
