This interdisciplinary collection examines social equity and
environmental justice in India. It assesses the effectiveness of
environmental policies and institutions in rendering justice for
marginalized communities while ensuring protection of the
environment. It also analyses the influence of the neoliberal state
and its political economies on the development and outcomes of
these policies and institutions. The book provides a unique
perspective on environmental justice because of its consistent
emphasis on social justice, rather than the prevailing predominant
analyses from legal or environmental perspectives. It explores the
themes of effectiveness and equity as they pertain to public policy
instruments, such as environmental impact assessment, environmental
licensing and enforcement, public hearings, and environmental
activism strategies. The four interlinked dimensions of
environmental justice, namely recognitional justice, procedural
justice, distributive justice, and restorative justice, provide the
core of the book’s conceptual framework. The contributions draw
on ideas and methods from development studies, environmental
geography, environmental law and policy, natural resource
management, public administration, and political economy The book
concludes by considering planning, policy and institutional reforms
and community-based initiatives that are needed to promote and
protect environmental justice in India. Offering an important
reference for researchers and scholars, this book will appeal to
those in law, geography, environmental studies, natural resource
management, development studies, sociology, and political science.
It will also be of interest to community-based researchers,
environmentalists and other civil society activists, natural
resource managers, and policy makers.
