Access to Environmental Justice
Author: Andrew HardingPublisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN: 9004157832
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Although it is commonly asserted that enhanced citizen participation results in better environmental policy and improved enforcement of environmental standards, this hypothesis has rarely been subject to testing on a comparative basis. The contributors to this book set out to study the extent to which citizens can and do exert influence over their urban environments through the legal (and extra-legal) 'gateways' in eleven countries spanning several continents as well as different climates, levels and type of economic development, and national legal and constitutional systems, as well as exhibiting a different set of environmental problems. One interviewee questioned about access to environmental justice, dryly remarked that in his city there was no environment, no justice and no access to either. Yet this view, as will be seen, requires to be nuanced. While few people will be surprised by the finding that legal gateways to environmental justice are largely ineffective, the reasons for this are revealing; but also the richness of detail and the comparisons between the different countries, and also the positive aspects which surfaced in several instances, were indeed both encouraging and sometimes surprising. This book presents the first comparative survey of access to environmental justice, and will be of considerable use to lawyers, policy-makers, activists and scholars who are concerned with the environmental issues which so profoundly affect and afflict our habitat and conditions of social justice throughout the world.

Environmental Challenges and Governance

Pages : 285
Book Description
The economies located in East, South and Southeast Asia have witnessed an interesting growth-sustainability trade-off over the last decades. While growth considerations have paved ways for deepened ties with growing trade-investment waves and increasing population pressure necessitated exploitation of hitherto unutilized natural resources, focus on environmental sustainability has been a recent consideration. The growth impetus still playing a key role in these economies, it becomes imperative that the countries effectively address the key sustainability concerns, e.g. air and water pollution, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, climate change issues like CO2 emissions etc. But how prepared is the governance mechanism of these countries, covering not only the legislative and administrative framework but also involvement of the judiciary, presence of spirited civil society and active engagement of stakeholders in policy-framing dialogues, to rise up to these challenges? The book seeks an answer to this question through the environmental governance mechanism and natural resource conservation policies in three vibrant regions within Asia. A holistic development dimension of sustainable development path emerges, through discussion of policies adopted by developed (Japan, South Korea), upper-middle (China, Malaysia), developing (India, Indonesia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand) and least developed countries (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal).

Book Description
"It started as land purchased in 1880 to fill the Ordnance Department's need for a powder depot near the Atlantic Coast. Once an enterprise to produce and store something so explosively dangerous had gotten underway, a continuous inflow of expertise was needed to make that enterprise flourish. This begins to explain how the Dover Powder Depot grew from a modest operation to supply gunpowder into the nation's principle ammunition loading operation at the start of World War II. Today, Picatinny Arsenal is a brainpower hub where more than 5,000 scientists, engineers and support staff turn leading-edge technology into the weapons, ammunition, and related production and storage designs to make United States service members the best-armed fighters in the world. [This book] chronicles the development of this enduring national asset. The armaments developers who work at Picatinny Arsenal today are part of a legacy of providing state-of-the-art weapons designs that have directly influenced outcomes in numerous U.S. battles and campaigns."--Page 4 of cover.
