Governing for the Environment Global Problems, Ethics, and Democracy

Governing for the Environmentexplores one of the dimensions of the value-knowledge system needed in any movement towards humane governance for the planet: the ecological sustainability and integrity of the Earth's environment. The book begins from the premise that while environmental knowledge and values have developed rapidly, their development must not overwhelm consideration of other core 'humane' values: peace, social justice, and human rights. The book's contributors explore a variety of ethical issues that must inform future global regulation of the Earth's environment.Gleeson, Brendan is the author of 'Governing for the Environment Global Problems, Ethics, and Democracy', published 2001 under ISBN 9780333793725 and ISBN 0333793722.
