Environmental law is dense with monolithic concepts, from environmental democracy to intergenerational justice, from sustainable development to stewardship. Each concept generating its own mythology about what environmental law should aspire to. Sometimes these ideas become so big that we lose hold of their meaning and therefore what we allude to when we describe environmental law in such terms. No more so is this true than in relation to the Aarhus Convention, an ambitious instrument of environmental law that promotes public participation and access to justice in relation to the environment. Since its inception it has been revered in glowing terms, praised variously for its contribution to citizenship, environmental responsibility and democratic legitimacy. But how are we to know whether these descriptions are mere puffs or genuine statements about the Convention's character. This book digs deep into the foundations of the Aarhus Convention, illuminating its ambitious potential through the lens of three foundational purposes - environmental rights, democracy, and stewardship. In so doing, it both contributes to our understanding of the Convention and our understanding of three important purposes that inhabit environmental law, unravelling and reassembling them to build meaning into our broad-brush descriptions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making, and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters $d (1998 June 25) 630 07 $a Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making, and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (1998 June 25) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01774077 650 0 $a Environmental law. 650 0 $a Environmental justice. 650 0 $a Environmental protection. 650 0 $a Freedom of information. 650 0 $a Environmental law, International. 650 7 $a Environmental justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913104 650 7 $a Environmental law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913122 650 7 $a Environmental law, International. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913170 650 7 $a Environmental protection. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913324 650 7 $a Freedom of information. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934017 776 08 $i Online version: $a Barritt, Emily. $t The foundations of the Aarhus Convention. $d Oxford, UK ; New York, NY : Hart Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020 $z 9781509915286 $w (DLC) 2020023049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015717.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CC48854403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
