This book examines the relationship between man and nature through
different cultural approaches to encourage new environmental
legislation as a means of fostering acceptance at a local level. In
2019, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS)
recognised that we have entered a new era, the Anthropocene,
specifically characterised by the impact of one species, mankind,
on environmental change. The Anthropocene is penetrating the
discourse of both hard sciences and humanities and social sciences,
by posing new epistemological as well as practical challenges to
many disciplines. Legal sciences have so far been at the margins of
this intellectual renewal, with few contributions on the central
role that the notion of Anthropocene could play in forging a more
effective and just environmental law. By applying a
multidisciplinary approach and adopting a Law as Culture paradigm
to the study of law, this book explores new paths of investigation
and possible solutions to be applied. New perspectives for the
constitutional framing of environmental policies, rights, and
alternative methods for bottom-up participatory law-making and
conflict resolution are investigated, showing that environmental
justice is not just an option, but an objective within reach. The
book will be essential reading for students, academics, and
policymakers in the areas of law, environmental studies and
anthropology.
