This volume examines the impact of globalization on international
environmental law and the implementation of sustainable development
in the Global South. Comprising contributions from lawyers from the
Global South or who have experience in the Global South, this
volume is organized into three parts, with a thematic inquiry woven
through every chapter to ask how law can enable economies that can
be sustained, given the limited carrying capacity of the earth.
Part I describes and characterizes the status quo of environmental
and economic problems in the Global South during the process of
globalization. Some of those problems include redistribution of
environmental burden on the public through over-reliance on the
state in emerging economies and the transition to public-private
partnerships, as well as extreme uncontrolled economic expansion.
Building on Part I, Part II takes an international perspective by
presenting some tools that are in place during the process of
globalization that lead to friction and interfaces between
developed and developing economies in environmental law.
Recognizing the impossibility of a globalized Northern economy, the
authors in Part III present some alternatives through framework
ideas of human and civil rights, environmental rights, and
indigenous persons' rights, as well as concrete and specific legal
tools to strengthen justice and rule of law institutions. The book
gives new perspectives to familiar approaches through concrete
examples by professional practitioners and theoretical discourse by
academic researchers, and can thereby form the basis for changes in
practices, as well as further discussions and comparisons. This
book will be of great interest to students and scholars of
environmental law, sustainable development, and globalization and
international relations, as well as legal professionals and
practitioners.
