'The book is a timely and essential contribution to the literature on environment policy, due in no small part to its insistence on speaking with the voice of the Global South on such matters, in a way that often conflicts with prevailing narratives from forces of globalization and neoliberalism, and on challenging the premise of sustainable development and unlimited growth.' - Christopher Atkinson, International Journal of Public Administration 'Professors Cullet and Koonan have assembled an impressive array of scholars from the global South for this state of the art Research Handbook. It takes the perspective that efforts to sustain the ecological basis of all life must first consider the lives of poor and marginalised people who are often further harmed by the rules that should protect them. As such, it is invaluable for the reader looking for a guide to sustaining and synergising human and nonhuman ecologies in the twenty-first century.' --David Takacs, University of California, Hastings College of the Law, US 'Environmental law has often adopted an ahistorical, technocratic approach to environmental protection that neglects the relationship between the abuse of nature and the exploitation and subordination of human beings. This book gives voice to the perspectives and priorities of marginalised communities in the South and the North, and places justice at the centre rather than the periphery of environmental law and policy.' --Carmen G. Gonzalez, Seattle University, US
