ABSTRACT

The analyses presented in this book show how justice is an integral dimension of environmental management. Environmental management almost always causes justice-relevant outcomes, be it changes in the distribution of benefits and responsibilities, people’s participation in decision making or the recognition of their particular identities and histories. Justice-relevant outcomes are in parts due to the particular design features of governance interventions as well as the framing done by the concepts underpinning the interventions. Design features and conceptual underpinnings combine with the characteristics of particular contexts to generate justices and injustices.
