Economic Globalisation and Ecological Localization

This book explores the interrelationship between global economic interests and local ecological interests, and its implications in law. * Seeks to examine the capacity of global forces to subjugate local interests in responding to territorially confined threats * Evaluates the extent to which solutions to global environmental problems may depend on local action * Analyses the impact of globalization on legal structures and their ability to accommodate local concerns * Considers whether globalization, and the elimination of national borders, actually offers an opportunity to re-assert the power of local and regional governance
