International Environmental Law and the Global South

Shawkat Alam, Sumudu Atapattu, Carmen Gonzalez & Jona Razzaque, eds, International Environmental Law and the Global South (New York: Cambridge University Press, 2016). 

Perspectives from the Global South are frequently excluded from the international environmental agenda. To fill this gap in scholarship, this book addresses the deep-rooted global inequality underlying this and takes the Global South’s perspective. It begins with a historical survey of environmental governance and the North-South divide. Subsequent chapters explore contemporary international environmental law in various areas, with sections devoted to Trade, Investment, and Sustainable Development as well as Environmental Justice and Vulnerable Groups.
