Book Description

This book systematically explores the emerging legal discipline of Earth Organisation Police force (ESL), challenging the closed system of police and marking a new era in constabulary and society scholarship.

Law has historically provided stability, certainty, and predictability in the ordering of social relations (predominantly between humans). However, in contempo decades the Earth's human relationship in law has changed with increasing recognition of the standing of Mother Earth, inherent rights of the environment (such equally flora and animal, rivers), and now recognition of the multiple relations of the Anthropocene. This book questions the fundamental assumption that 'the law' just applies to humans, and that the world, equally a arrangement, has intrinsic rights and responsibilities. In the last 10 years the planet has experienced its hottest menstruation since human evolution, and past the year 2100, unless substantive action is taken, many species will be lost, and planetary weather condition will exist intolerable for human civilisation every bit information technology currently exists. Relationships between humans, the biosphere, and all planetary systems must change. The authors address these challenging topics, setting the background of ESL to ensure sustainable development of the coupled socio-ecological organisation that the Earth has become.

Earth System Law is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research project, and, as such, this book will be of not bad interest to researchers and stakeholders from a wide range of disciplines, including political science, anthropology, economic science, law, ethics, sociology, and psychology.

Reviews

"The unprecedented challenges we are facing in the Anthropocene crave radically new governance approaches that recognize the entanglement betwixt human activities and Globe organisation processes. This volume provides a cutting-edge contribution to the emerging field of　Earth arrangement law by exploring and proposing novel legal developments for governing planetary transformations created by humans."

Agni Kalfagianni, Co-chair of the Earth Arrangement Governance Project

"World Organization Law: Standing on the Precipice of the Anthropocene is a ground-breaking work in the climate governance literature. The book reassesses the condition quo for legal process. To exercise so, it uses years of expert insight into how to meet the challenges ecology change presents to governance equally its measure of assessment. Its conclusion is that the status quo for legal procedure has become dangerously blowsy at this critical moment in Earth's history. Much of the book explores what types of legal reform are needed from various disciplinary positions. The result is an outline of a new theory of law, which draws its management from businesslike solutions to the governance problems created by climatic change.

Undoubtably, this theory will appear strange and unfamiliar to many, straining their legal imagination. But this strain is a testament to the book's importance. Many of us cling — with good reason — to our confidence in how society ought to be ordered. Our legal status quo, which supports the modern order, was hard-won in the trenches of Verdun and on the beaches of Normandy. Since then, it has served as the midwife for the nascence of the modern nation-state, establishing a common footing for the negotiation of conflict in multiple contexts. Undermining this status quo may invite many risks to social stability. On the other hand, law inevitably must adapt to change and, equally this book suggests, pragmatism must trump convention at this time when we stand on the precipice of environmental catastrophe.

For these reasons, Earth System Law: Standing on the Precipice of the Anthropocene is a provocative book, which ought to exist read widely."
