Pages : 237
Book Description
Human rights and environmental protection are closely intertwined, and both are critically dependent on supportive legal opportunity structures. These legal structures consist of access to the courts; 'legal stock' or the set of available standards and precedents on which to base litigation; and institutional receptiveness to potential litigation. These elements all depend on a variety of social, political, and economic variables. This book critically analyses the complexities of uniting human rights advocacy and environmental protection. Bringing together international experts in the field, it documents the current state of our environmental human rights knowledge, strategically critical questions that remain unanswered, and the initiatives required to develop those answers. It is ideal for researchers in environmental governance and law, as well as interested practitioners and advanced students working in public policy, political science and environmental studies.

Derechos humanos, Protección medioambiental y nuevos retos sociales
Author: Garriga Domínguez, Ana
Publisher: Dykinson
ISBN: 849085372X
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 262
Book Description
Una de las mayores inquietudes sociales de nuestro tiempo es la que surge en relación con la degradación de medioambiental de nuestro planeta. A la inquietud difusa que provoca el cambio climático hay que sumar la de sus manifestaciones más evidentes, con sequías cada vez más graves en diversos lugares y distantes países o mayores y más devastadores fenómenos meteorológicos, como huracanes o inundaciones. Todos estos fenómenos influyen en la vida de los seres humanos y afectan directamente a su calidad de vida y bienestar e inciden en el disfrute efectivo de sus derechos fundamentales. En este contexto, investigadores de varias universidades españolas y brasileñas, desde su propio contexto geográfico, cultural y académico, abordan, ya sea desde su relación con los derechos humanos, ya sea desde la adopción de políticas públicas que lo favorezcan, la necesaria protección medioambiental y la búsqueda de un desarrollo económico sostenible. Se abordan, por tanto, cuestiones relativas a la relación entre medioambiente y derechos fundamentales, pero también aquellas que tienen que ver con el desarrollo rural, o las políticas económica, energética o urbanística y el desarrollo sostenible. La mayoría de los trabajos reunidos en este libro fueron presentados en Congresso Internacional Os Desafios da Sustentabilidade e dos Direitos Humanos no Seculo XXI celebrado en la Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul – UNISC y en el VII Simpósio de Estudos Jurídicos realizado en la Universidade Regional Integrada do Alto Uruguai e das Missões –URI, en los meses de mayo y junio de 2014.

Encyclopedia Corruption in the World
Author: Judivan J. Vieira
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546232893
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
The publication of this book collection by Prof. Judivan J. Vieira, PhD, is driven more by mission than editorial pursuits. The research is composed of five volumes, and it is the result of the authors willful work in a field of study that has been his passion since his graduation in law school in 1993. Corruption is inherent to the human being, and according to the author, it is a metastatic cancer within the rights of a democratic society. Throughout the five volumes, Judivan Vieira analyzes the various perspectives of this disease that delays and wipes out nonhegemonic countries and threatens developed countries. In the last volume of the collection, the author offers the solution to remediate this disease of the soul, which prevents social well-being and relegates us to live in formal democracies.
