Using the principles of John Rawls' theory of justice, this book
offers an alternative political vision, one which describes a mode
of governance that will enable communities to implement a
sustainable and socially just future. Rawls described a theory of
justice that not only describes the sort of society in which anyone
would like to live but that any society can create a society based
on just institutions. While philosophers have demonstrated that
Rawls's theory can provide a framework for the discussion of
questions of environmental justice, the problem for many
philosophical theories is that discussions of sustainable
development open the need to address questions of ecological
interdependence, historical inequality in past resource use and the
recognition that we cannot afford to ignore the limitations of
growth. These ideas do not fit in comfortably in standard discourse
about theories of justice. In contrast, this book frames the
discussion of global justice in terms of environmental
sustainability. The author argues that these ideas can be used to
develop a coherent political theory that reconciles cosmopolitan
arguments and the non-cosmopolitan or nationalist arguments
concerning social and environmental justice. This book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of environmental philosophy
and ethics, moral and political philosophy, global studies and
sustainable development.
