theoretical and factual base for understanding the complex

The vast majority of the world's scientists agree: we have reached
a point in history where we are in grave danger of destroying
Earth's life-sustaining capacity. But our attempts to protect
natural ecosystems are increasingly ineffective because our very
conception of the problem is limited; we treat 'the environment' as
its own separate realm, taking for granted prevailing but outmoded
conceptions of economics, national sovereignty and international
law. Green Governance is a direct response to the mounting calls
for a paradigm shift in the way humans relate to the natural
environment. It opens the door to a new set of solutions by
proposing a compelling new synthesis of environmental protection
based on broader notions of economics and human rights and on
commons-based governance. Going beyond speculative abstractions,
the book proposes a new architecture of environmental law and
public policy that is as practical as it is theoretically sound.
