Law

A human rights-based agenda has received significant attention in writings on general development policy, but less so in forestry. Forests and People presents a comprehensive analysis of the rights-based agenda in forestry, connecting it with existing work on tenure reform, governance rights and cultural rights.

Examining the interplay between the domestic, regional and global aspects of the crisis of legitimacy of global governance, this book theoretically questions and empirically analyses the "crises of legitimacy" in global governance with respect to various mechanisms, actors, and issues.

This book integrates the insights of environmental constitutionalism and ecological law in a concise, engaging and accessible manner. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental law, ecological law, environmental constitutionalism, sustainability and rights of nature.
