- Ecological Governance, a monograph published by Cambridge University Press in November 2014, draws on five years of research. The book reappraises law’s role in protecting ecosystem functionality in view of the failure of current environmental laws to arrest already serious and accelerating deterioration of the world’s ecosystems. It presents a wide-ranging set of novel proposals, covering decision-making at policy, planning and project levels, for governing the environmental effects of human activities from an ecological perspective. In doing so, it draws from academic literature in multiple disciplines including law, ecology, ecological economics, philosophy, politics and sociology.
