Defining Environmental Justice Theories, Movements, and Nature
By
David Schlosberg
Description
- Brand new statement from a known and highly respected scholar in the field
- Provides practical illustrations of how such notions of justice can be included in environmental decision-making.
The basic task of this book is to explore what, exactly, is meant by justice in definitions of environmental and ecological justice. It examines how the term is used in both self-described environmental justice movements and in theories of environmental and ecological justice. The central argument is that a theory and practice of environmental justice necessarily includes distributive conceptions of justice, but must also embrace notions of justice based in recognition, capabilities, and participation. Throughout, the goal is the development of a broad, multi-faceted, yet integrated notion of justice that can be applied to both relations regarding environmental risks in human populations and relations between human communities and non-human nature.
Readership: Scholars and students of politics, political theory, philosophy, and environmental studies.
