Environmental Law As A Legal Field: An Inquiry In Legal Taxonomy, Todd S. Aagaard
Environmental Law As A Legal Field: An Inquiry In Legal Taxonomy, Todd S. Aagaard
Todd S Aagaard
This Article examines the classification of the law into legal fields, first generally and then by specific examination of the field of environmental law. We classify the law into fields to find and to create patterns, which render the law coherent and understandable. A legal field is a group of situations unified by a pattern or set of patterns that is both common and distinctive to the field. We can conceptualize a legal field as the interaction of four underlying constitutive dimensions of the field: (1) a factual context that gives rise to (2) certain policy tradeoffs, which are in …
China En América Latina: Derecho, Economía Y Desarrollo Sostenible, Carmen G. Gonzalez
China En América Latina: Derecho, Economía Y Desarrollo Sostenible, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
Los crecientes vínculos económicos y políticos entre China y América Latina han desatado controversias entre académicos, eruditos en la materia, y personas encargadas de elaborar políticas. Algunos académicos afirman que China es una potencia imperial emergente, comprometida en la lucha por obtener los recursos del mundo en desarrollo, y una amenaza competitiva para América Latina. Otros aplauden las estrategias de desarrollo chinas, pragmáticas y poco ortodoxas, y las describen como un modelo exitoso para los países en desarrollo. El presente artículo pone en duda las narratives predominantes sobre la cresciente influencia de China en América Latina, e interroga las implicaciones …
The Global Food Crisis: Law, Policy, And The Elusive Quest For Justice, Carmen G. Gonzalez
The Global Food Crisis: Law, Policy, And The Elusive Quest For Justice, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The food crisis of 2008, the subsequent financial crisis, and the ongoing climate crisis have created new challenges to the attainment of global food security. This essay examines the historic and current practices that have contributed to food insecurity in developing countries, and recommends several steps that the international community might take to promote the fundamental human right to food. The essay begins by outlining the trade and aid policies that laid the foundation for food insecurity in the global South from colonialism until the early twenty-first century. It then examines the impact of the financial crisis and the climate …
China In Latin America: Law, Economics, And Sustainable Development, Carmen G. Gonzalez
China In Latin America: Law, Economics, And Sustainable Development, Carmen G. Gonzalez
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The growing economic and political ties between China and Latin America have sparked controversy among scholars, pundits, and policy-makers. Some scholars contend that China is a rising imperial power scouring the globe for natural resources, exploiting less powerful nations, and rejecting international environmental agreements that would curb its profligate consumption of the world’s natural resources. Others applaud China’s unorthodox development strategies and portray China as a successful model for developing countries and as a welcome counterweight to U.S. economic and political hegemony. This paper interrogates the competing narratives about China’s growing influence in Latin America and examines the implications of …

El Liberalismo Neoclásico , El Libre Mercado Y Sus Críticos, Carmen G. Gonzalez, Colin Crawford, Daniel Bonilla Maldonado
Carmen G. Gonzalez
The articles collected in this volume critically examine the hegemony of market fundamentalism in law, politics, and social theory. They question the underlying premises of market fundamentalism as well as the social, economic, cultural and environmental consequences of policies inspired by this ideology. The authors represent several disciplines (law, economics, anthropology) and various countries (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Venezuela). The topics covered include free trade agreements, Argentina's financial crisis, deregulation in Brazil, the judicial enforcement of economic and social rights, climate change, and the impact of trade liberalization on violence against women. The articles were originally …

Leviathan Menacing The Gulf Coast: Catastrophic Consequences May Imperil The Rule Of Law, Beau James Brock
Beau James Brock
The criminal negligence standard under the Clean Water Act should be one of gross negligence and not merely ordinary negligence and the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals should not be tested on this point of law as it will disagree with the previous findings of the Ninth and Tenth Circuits.

Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Communities: Louisiana Wastewater Infrastructure Recovery, Beau James Brock, Peggy Hatch, Vladimir Alexander Appeaning Ph.D.
Beau James Brock
This article discusses how the Louisiana DEQ accepted the moral test of government, and after laying a foundation for success, was able to implement its own pragmatic populist policy for infrastructure recovery by establishing its own model for community sustainability and enabling the state to answer the call for social justice through direct action for citizens.
Global Warming: A Second Coming For International Law?, Deepa Badrinarayana
Global Warming: A Second Coming For International Law?, Deepa Badrinarayana
Deepa Badrinarayana
Currently, there are no adequate mechanisms under international law to balance the competing tensions climate change presents to state sovereignty. On one hand, climate change threatens state sovereignty because the catastrophic loss of life and property of millions of people would deprive states of control over their domestic territories. Yet, other states rely on claims of their sovereignty to reject international legal obligations to mitigate climate change. This Article attributes the inadequacy of international law in the climate context to the evolution of the international community into an economic union that has historically privileged material interests over legal rights. It …
