Reviews

‘A most recent and impressive release. . . is a noteworthy editorial achievement because of the necessary, but often overlooked, connection the author makes between sustainable development issues and security paradigms by interpreting the causes, development and consequences of environmental degradation in conflict-ridden areas of the world. . . Impressive by its accuracy and optimal scope and depth, the text aids readers, helping them move easily into the central thesis of the study. . . We recommend Onita Das’ work to expert researchers, non-governmental activists, officials in national administration and international officials, teachers and students, as well as journalists interested in environmental protection and security studies alike.’ -- Eugen Strau?iu, Central and Eastern European Online Library ‘Onita Das' book is a much-needed contribution to literature that draws together the worlds of environmental law and environmental security. Her overview of sustainable development law demonstrates knowledge of environmental legal history. . . Thankfully Onita Das has shed light on some important aspects that help us to see where we must venture.’ -- Elaine C. Hsiao, IUCNAEL EJournal ‘This thoughtful, analytical and scholarly monograph encapsulates and examines the ramifications of the vast amount of research carried out by Onita Das on the dual considerations of sustainability and armed conflict. . . Because of its subject matter, the recent appearance of this book is certainly timely and worthy of close scrutiny, especially by those involved professionally in this complex area; academics and postgraduate students obviously, as well as policy-makers and yes, environmental lawyers.’ -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine ‘Environmental Protection, Security and Armed Conflict is a timely reminder of the need to integrate sustainable development into key areas of international law, including all phases of armed conflict. Onita Das cleverly picks her way through the applicable law and derives solid suggestions for the future.’ -- Karen Hulme, University of Essex, UK
