Il diritto del sistema terra. Democrazia, capitalismo e protezione della natura nell’antropocene

Earth System Law. Democracy, capitalism and nature protection in the Anthropocene

Abstract

Nature protection in the Anthropocene needs new legal approaches, which are at the core of a lively debate led by the advocates of earth system law, and global environmental constitutionalism. This essay critically discusses their proposals, suggesting that a point of reference for their evaluation is the defence of democracy to enhance social conflict and introduce an overcoming of neoliberalism, as well as the illusion of a green capitalism.
