The nature of environmental human rights and their relation to
larger rights theories has been a frequent topic of discussion in
law, environmental ethics and political theory. However, the
subject of environmental human rights has not been fully
established among other human rights concerns within political
philosophy and theory. In examining environmental rights from a
political theory perspective, this book explores an aspect of
environmental human rights that has received less attention within
the literature. In linking the constraints of political reality
with a focus on the theoretical underpinnings of how we think about
politics, this book explores how environmental human rights must
respond to the key questions of politics, such as the state and
sovereignty, equality, recognition and representation, and examines
how the competing understandings about these rights are also
related to political ideologies. Drawing together contributions
from a range of key thinkers in the field, this is a valuable
resource for students and scholars of human rights, environmental
ethics, and international environmental law and politics more
generally.
