Beskrivning
This timely book explores the complex relationship between the alleviation of poverty and the protection of the environment. There is every reason to believe that these issues are in many ways interdependent. However this book demonstrates that there are situations where alleviation of poverty and the protection of the environment appear to be in a fraught relationship. The contributing authors illustrate that the role played by law in this relationship, whether at the international or national level, will vary depending on the situation and will be more successful at pursuing environmental justice in some cases than in others. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to academics and students in environmental law and other environmental disciplines, environmental policy makers and NGOs interested in issues of poverty, environment and indigenous peoples.

‘Poverty Alleviation and Environmental Law makes an important contribution. . . taking as its subject the role that law can play at the intersection of anti-poverty and conservation efforts. . . the carefully researched and written chapters offer critical and stimulating insights and detailed analysis of key issues and challenges in this field. Furthermore, for almost every shortcoming they identify, the contributors offer concrete recommendations for developing the applicable laws and policies, making a convincing case that these improvements are not only necessary, but also feasible. The editors and authors are to be applauded for this highly readable and informative addition to the existing literature. . .
