The basic task of this book is to explore what, exactly, is meant by 'justice' in definitions of environmental and ecological justice. It examines how the term is used in both self-described environmental justice movements and in theories of environmental and ecological justice. The central argument is that a theory and practice of environmental justice necessarily includes distributive conceptions of justice, but must also embrace notions of justice based in recognition,capabilities, and participation. Throughout, the goal is the development of a broad, multi-faceted, yet integrated notion of

"La pandémie avait suscité l'espoir d'un changement de paradigme. Le Fonds monétaire international et la Banque mondiale y ont plutôt vu l'occasion de libéraliser plus avant les économies. Les aides d'urgence consenties par le premier en réponse au covid engagent les pays emprunteurs dans une nouvelle décennie d'austérité - réduction de la masse salariale publique, baisse des subventions aux biens essentiels, hausse des taxes sur la consommation, etc. - aux effets sociaux dramatiques. Les programmes de « financement du développement » poussés par la deuxième à la faveur de la crise promeuvent une « bonne gouvernance » synonyme d'amélioration du « climat des affaires », au bénéfice des entreprises transnationales. Les émeutes de la faim, la crise asiatique et la montée des donateurs émergents avaient pourtant délégitimé le conditionnement des aides financières ou des allègements de dette à l'adoption de réformes économiques libérales. La conditionnalité avait été « révisée », subordonnée à l'« appropriation » par le pays bénéficiaire, mise au service des objectifs de développement durable. Or, dans les faits, cette ingérence subsiste à travers un ensemble de dispositifs véhiculant l'influence des bailleurs de fonds en matière de politique économique et budgétaire, au détriment des souverainetés des pays concernés et des investissements publics considérables qu'exigent la lutte contre les inégalités et la catastrophe environnementale."--Quatrième de couverture.

"This book corrects the tendency in scholarly work to leave Indigenous peoples on the margins of discussions of environmental inequality, by situating them as central activists in struggles to achieve environmental justice. Drawing from archival and interview data, it examines and compares the historical and contemporary processes through which Indigenous fishing rights have been negotiated in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, where three unique patterns have emerged and persist. It thus reveals the agential dynamics and the structural constraints that have resulted in varying degrees of success for Indigenous communities who are struggling to define the terms of their rights to access traditionally harvested fisheries, while also gaining economic stability through commercial fishing enterprises. Presenting rich narratives of conquest and resistance, domination and resilience, and marginalization and revitalization, the author uncovers the fundamentally cultural, political and ecological dynamics of colonization and explores the key mechanisms through which Indigenous assertions of rights to natural resources can systematically transform enduring political and cultural vestiges of colonization. A study of environmental justice as a fundamental ingredient in broader processes of decolonization, Environmental Justice as Decolonization will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, environmental studies, law and Indigenous studies"--
