Summary: "The chapters explore what environmental violence is and does, and the variety of ways in which it affects different communities. The authors draw on empirical data from around the globe, including Ukraine, French Polynesia, Latin America, and the Arctic. The variety of responses to environmental violence by different communities, whether through active resistance or the creative arts, are also discussed, providing the foundation on which to build alternatives to the potentially damaging trajectory on which humans currently find themselves" --Summary: "This book offers a range of scholarly approaches to environmental violence, including law, social and environmental science, engineering, as well as from the arts and humanities. Presenting various cultural perspectives from around the world, it is indispensable reading for researchers and policymakers in environmental policy and peacebuilding"-- Provided by publisherPPN: PPN: 1922678406Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
