Synopsis :

Natural Resources and Environmental Justice provides the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of justice research in Australian environmental management, identifying best practice and current knowledge gaps. With chapters written by experts in environmental and social sciences, law and economics, this book covers topical issues, including coal seam gas, desalination plants, community relations in mining, forestry negotiations, sea-level rise and animal rights. It also proposes a social justice framework and an agenda for future justice research in environmental management.

À propos des auteurs: Anna Lukasiewicz is associated with the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University. With an interdisciplinary background focusing on sustainability, Anna has been developing the Social Justice Framework, an empirically-grounded guide incorporating justice and fairness into environmental and natural resource management.

He focuses on generic policy and institutional dimensions in environment and sustainability, combining contemporary and historical perspectives across a diverse range of sectors, most of which represent environmental dilemmas with strong justice conflicts.

Steven Schilizzi is an Associate Professor at the School of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Western Australia. His expertise is mainly in environmental and resource economics, but his background also includes social psychology, anthropology and (ancient and modern) philosophy.
