Recenzje

'Much of the author's argument is convincing. Given the extent of environmental degradation her vision is a compelling one. The focus on preserving ecosystem functionality and reducing the risks to that functionality from our activities makes much sense as a new activating principle of environmental law, but achieving that in practice and ensuring that such an approach is seen as legitimate is a daunting task, given the dominance of economic values and short-termism in global society.' Mark Poustie, The Edinburgh Law Review
