Description
Exploring how society may yet reconstruct a true system of international rights enforced by international laws and contemplates the limitations of international organisations to effectively address truly international problems. Through the lens of political ecology, Westra offers a call for action to protect the global environment and the people. Offering insights into our currently reality by exploring the content and consequences of power relationships under capitalism and by considering the spaces of opposition and resistance to these changes.
