• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers an alternative analysis of the various theories and ; dimensions of green and environmental justice which are rooted in political economy. Much green criminological literature side-lines political economic theoretical insights, and therefore with this this work the authors enrich the field by vigorously exploring such perspectives. It engages with a number of studies relevant to a political economic approach to justice in order to make two key arguments: that capitalism has produced profound ecological injustices and that the concept of ecological justice (human and ecological rights) itself needs critiquing. Green Criminology and Green Theories of Justice is a timely text which urges the field to revisit its radical roots in social justice while broadening its disciplinary horizons to include a meaningful analysis of political economy and its role in producing and responding to environmental harm and injustice.
