Law and Ecology: New Environmental Foundations contains a series of
theoretical and applied perspectives on the connection between law
and ecology, which together offer a radical and socially responsive
foundation for environmental law. While its legal corpus grows
daily, environmental law has not enjoyed the kind of
jurisprudential underpinning generally found in other branches of
law. This book forges a new ecological jurisprudential foundation
for environmental law -- where ecological' is understood both in
the narrow sense of a more ecosystemic perspective on law, and in
the broad sense of critical self-reflection of the mechanisms of
environmental law as they operate in a context where boundaries
between the human and the non-human are collapsing, and where the
traditional distinction between ecocentrism and anthropocentrism is
recast. Addressing current debates, including the intellectual
property of bioresources; the protection of biodiversity in view of
tribal land demands; the ethics of genetically modified organisms;
the redefinition of the 'human' through feminist and technological
research; the spatial/geographical boundaries of environmental
jurisdiction; and the postcolonial geographies of pollution -- Law
and Ecology redefines the way environmental law is perceived,
theorised and applied. It also constitutes a radical challenge to
the traditionally human-centred frameworks and concerns of legal
theory.
