Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Forward-looking and innovative, Elgar Research Agendas are an essential resource for PhD students, scholars and anybody who wants to be at the forefront of research.
This important book creatively explores and uncovers new ways of understanding the intersections between human rights and the environment, as well as introducing readers to the ways in which we can use new methodologies, case studies and approaches in human rights to address environmental issues.
Interdisciplinary in nature, this Research Agenda recognises and engages with the short-comings and problematic framings of traditional approaches to human rights and environmental law. Keeping these limits and failings unflinchingly in view, it identifies potential opportunities to maximise the law's effectiveness, providing readers with a thought-provoking agenda for future research. Contributions also call for resistant, transformative and inclusive research and practice in the area of human rights and the environment, using human rights law to center the knowledge, practices, laws and priorities of marginalised groups in addressing environmental injustice.
This dynamic Research Agenda will be an essential tool for PhD students and scholars in international law, environmental law and human rights, as well as providing a springboard for geographers and anthropologists to further their knowledge of the evolving interface between human rights and the environment.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'It is original-there has been no prior volume of this type which tackles this subject matter in this way. [...] This volume is founded in expert critical analysis but in that provision it also provides expert advocacy as it speaks out on behalf of many of the marginalized groups throughout the world who are so often unheard and ignored. It is for these reasons that this book can be highly recommended, and it will be an excellent resource for scholars seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between marginalized groups and human rights and the environment for many years to come.' -- Stephen J. Turner, Human Rights Law Review 'In a world grappling with the profound human rights impacts of the current triple planetary crisis, Dina Lupin's 2023 edited volume, A Research Agenda for Human Rights and the Environment, emerges as a timely and signi?cant contribution to scholarship. Starting from a position of despair- "we are living in a dystopian present, and the future looks ever more bleak" (1)-the contributors to the book creatively explore and uncover new ways of understanding the intersection of human rights and the environment, and of seeing human rights and environmental law frameworks as having great potential and possibility. [...] A Research Agenda for Human Rights and the Environment is a must-read for anyone engaged in the intersection of human rights and the environment. For Australian practitioners and scholars, it provides a compelling overview of global trends and challenges, o?ering insights that are both relevant and applicable to our unique context, particularly as they relate to First Nations peoples. Lupin and the contributing authors have created a work that not only informs but also inspires action and further research in this critical and evolving ?eld, especially from a "race-conscious" perspective.' -- Melanie Montalban, Australian Journal of Human Rights 'This volume represents one of the most outstanding academic works in the field of human rights and environment. It tackles a highly relevant issue which comes to be traditionally detached from current discussions. The volume is highly recommended to anybody who is looking for a detailed study on human rights and environmental justice. The bibliography covers a broad range of sources. The book delves into various dimensions of the topic, from the impact of environmental degradation on marginalized communities to the ethical responsibilities of governments. One of the book's strengths lies in its clear articulation of research questions that guide the exploration of these critical issues. At the heart of the author's inquiry are thought-provoking questions that not only frame the discussion but also invite readers to engage deeply with the subject-matter.' -- Rosa Manzo, Nordic Journal of Human Rights 'Organized around four themes - repositioning, reinventing, relocating, and rethinking human rights - Dina Lupin skillfully brings together a diverse array of essays by an impressive group of scholars to give the reader a flavor of this burgeoning area of international law, made even more significant by the UN General Assembly resolution recognizing a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a human right and the worsening climate crisis. An important contribution to the scholarship on human rights and the environment.' -- Sumudu Atapattu, University of Wisconsin Law School, US
