This Handbook provides a detailed overview of various issues
related to intergenerational justice. Comprising articles written
by a distinguished group of scholars from the international
scientific community, the Handbook is divided into two main
thematic sections - foundations and definitions of
intergenerational justice and institutionalization of
intergenerational justice. The first part clarifies basic terms and
traces back the origins of the idea of intergenerational justice.
It also focuses on the problem of intergenerational buck-passing in
the ecological context; for example in relation to nuclear waste
and the greenhouse effect. At the same time, it also sheds light on
the relationship between intergenerational justice and economics,
addressing issues such as public debt and financial sustainability.
The innovative second part of the volume highlights how posterity
can be institutionally protected, such as by inserting relevant
clauses into national constitutions. Reading this volume is the
best way to gain an overall knowledge of intergenerational justice
- an extremely salient and topical issue of our time. The Handbook
is an important contribution to the literature and will be of great
interest to academics and graduate students as well as readers
interested in wider human rights issues.
