Part I describes and characterizes the status quo of environmental and economic problems in the Global South during the process of globalization. Some of those problems include redistribution of environmental burden on the public through over-reliance on the state in emerging economies and the transition to public-private partnerships, as well as extreme uncontrolled economic expansion. Building on Part I, Part II takes an international perspective by presenting some tools that are in place during the process of globalization that lead to friction and interfaces between developed and developing economies in environmental law. Recognizing the impossibility of a globalized Northern economy, the authors in Part III present some alternatives through framework ideas of human and civil rights, environmental rights, and indigenous persons’ rights, as well as concrete and specific legal tools to strengthen justice and rule of law institutions. The book gives new perspectives to familiar approaches through concrete examples by professional practitioners and theoretical discourse by academic researchers, and can thereby form the basis for changes in practices, as well as further discussions and comparisons. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental law, sustainable development, and globalization and international relations, as well as legal professionals and practitioners. 2023-06-07T05:43:05Z 2023-06-07T05:43:05Z 2021 book 9780367749132 9780367749262 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/63341 eng application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International external_content.epub Routledge 10.4324/9781003160236 b94f440c-9fb7-43bd-8244-d561eee71240 10.4324/9781003160236 Taylor & Francis b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780367749132 9780367749262 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Routledge Knowledge Unlatched open access
