Colleagues- I'm pleased to announce that my book, The Global Emergence of Constitutional Environmental Rights (Routledge 2017; Law, Justice and Ecology Series), is now available in paperback. Below you will find a brief synopsis of the book and a link to the website where it can be purchased.
Why do some countries have constitutional environmental rights while others do not? Bringing together theory from law, political science, and sociology, a global statistical analysis, and a comparative study of constitutional design in South Asia, Gellers presents a comprehensive response to this important question. Moving beyond normative debates and anecdotal developments in case law, as well as efforts to describe and categorize such rights around the world, this book provides a systematic analysis of the expansion of environmental rights using social science methods and theory. The resulting theoretical framework and empirical evidence offer new insights into how domestic and international factors interact during the constitution drafting process to produce new law that is both locally relevant and globally resonant. Scholars, practitioners, and students of law, political science, and sociology interested in understanding how institutions cope with complex problems like environmental degradation and human rights violations will find this book to be essential reading. https://www.routledge.com/The-Global-Emergence-of-Constitutional-Environmental-Rights/Gellers/p/book/9781138696495 Best, Josh ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Josh Gellers, PhD, LEED Green Associate Associate Professor, Political Science and Public Admin Research Fellow, Earth System Governance Project University of North Florida 1 UNF Drive Jacksonville, FL 32224 (e): [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (p): 904.620.2849 (t): @JoshGellers (w): www.joshgellers.com Enviro Rights Map Project: www.envirorightsmap.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
