Criticizing the shortcomings of the market paradigm, John Martin Gillroy proposes an alternative way to conceptualize and create environmental policy, one that allows for the protection of moral and ecological values in the face of economic demands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Kantian definitions of who we are as citizens, how we act collectively, and what the proper role of the state is, Gillroy develops a philosophical justification for incorporating non-market values into public decision making. His new paradigm for justice toward nature integrates the intrinsic value of humanity and nature into the law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo test the feasibility of this new approach, Gillroy applies it to six cases: wilderness preservation, national wildlife refuges, not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) siting dilemmas, comparative risk analysis, the Food and Drug Administration's risk regulation, and the National Environmental Policy Act. He also encourages others to adapt his framework to create alternative policy models from existing philosophies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers new insights, models, and methods for policymakers and analysts and for scholars in philosophy, political theory, law, and environmental studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Martin Gillroy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878407960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878407965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.98h x 6.84w x 1.24d","brand":"John Martin Gillroy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44076458901759,"sku":"9780878407965","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a801d531-a7e9-4b0f-9555-80fdaf772cfd.jpg?v=1685465113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/justice-and-nature-john-martin-gillroy-9780878407965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
