Constitutional Environmental Rights by Tim Hayward
Should the fundamental right to an adequate environment be provided in the constitution of any modern democratic state? Drawing on precedents from around the world, this book provides the first politically-focused analysis of this pivotal issue. Hayward compellingly demonstrates how the right is both necessary and effective, conducive to democracy, and serves the cause of international environmental justice.
This well-written book will please readers who want a carefully reasoned normative explanation for why a good environment must be considered a fundamental human right and why that right should be included in constitutions..the work is exemplary scholarship. Essential. * CHOICE *
