Zusatztext "Klinsky and Brankovic certainly break new ground to extend transitional justice theory to global climate change! and couch the debate about climate change in terms of climate justice! especially integrating climate policy with concerns of justice. They have dexterously shown how transitional justice mechanisms can address thorny questions of past climate harms! and the responsibility and reparation for them." -- Tarique Niazi! Ph.D.! Professor of Environmental Sociology at the University of Wisconsin! Eau Claire"It's time for new ideas on dealing with climate change and its devastating impacts on some people and nations. In this original! needed! and compelling mash-up of two distinct fields! Klinsky and Brankovic bring vast knowledge of time-tested solutions developed in knotty conflicts and efforts to rebuild societies after brutal dictatorships or civil wars to bear on the issue of climate justice. The Global Climate Regime and Transitional Justice gets us remarkably far down the road of thinking this through! providing lessons and proposing considered ways forward on issues like who might constitute a truth commission! what reparations might look like! and why we really need all this. A major contribution." --Timmons Roberts! Climate and Development Lab! Brown University! USA"The authors are to be commended for presenting a fresh! thought-provoking and informed perspective on the political and legal dimensions of climate justice. The book offers a valuable contribution to the emerging literature on how climate justice could achieve the transition from ideal to reality." - Jonathan Pickering! Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance! University of Canberra! Australia"This book is a must-read for all who work in the field of climate justice! institution building! and transformation with a forward-looking approach. The authors highlight the essential purpose of both responses to climate change and transitional justice! and the experience we have drawn from transitional justice over the last decades. Justice is more than punishment and atonement. It is to establish human rights - and good governance-based sustainable institutions that are resilient and responsive enough to the challenges climate change pose to us. Transitional justice measures and procedures build the foundations not only to deal with past wrongdoings or man-made disasters! they also provide pathways to repair past climate injustice and work toward preventing recurrence! as shown in this book." -- Anja Mihr! Center on Governance through Human Rights! Humboldt-Viadrina Governance Platform! Germany"Klinsky and Brankovic comprehensively apply transitional justice principles to climate change regulation. Their analysis discloses thought-provoking insights! necessarily de lege ferenda! and provides ground-breaking suggestions for further developing specific substantive and procedural regulation." - Ottavio Quirico! Senior Lecturer in International Law! University of New England! USA"The Global Climate Regime and Transitional Justice is an excellent introduction to the tools and mechanisms of transitional justice! to the existing climate regime! and to the possibilities for using the former to remodel the latter."-- Megan Blomfield! Lecturer in Political Philosophy! University of Sheffield! UK Informationen zum Autor Sonja Klinsky is Assistant Professor in the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University, USA. Jasmina Brankovic is a Senior Researcher with the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, South Africa.
