About this book

The contributors present a range of case studies, from Latin America, Asia and Africa, of conflicts over resource use, territorial rights, infrastructure and industrial projects, and analyse the links with the range of rights affected - including civil and political rights, and labour and welfare rights. Other contributors examine the ways in which robust norms that integrate environmental performance and protection of rights can be established.
