Environmental Democracy

Preserving Our Share of Nature

Can democracies protect the interests of future generations?

How do we imagine the interests of future generations as yet unborn? How best to we protect the interests of living creatures not governed by the law? What to think of a regime that claims to protect such interests to the detriment of its traditional subjects--that is, contemporary humans? Far from concluding that new ethical demands constitute an unrealizable utopia, in this work Éric Pommier proposes ways to reconcile such exigencies in his concept of an environmental democracy.
