Asian Journal of Law and Society (Special Issue: The Prevention of the Sixth Mass Extinction: Socio-Legal Responses to Mitigate the Anthropogenic Crises in Asia and Beyond)
Hiroshi Fukurai
Vol. 9, no. 2
A special issue for the Asian Law and Society Association presents new socio-legal research on preventing human-caused disasters in Asia and beyond. Sparked by the 2019 ALSA conference in Osaka–held as COVID-19 and Australia's wildfires began–the issue calls for reforms in legal education, adoption of Rights of Nature principles, and Indigenous-centered jurisprudence to challenge exploitative legal norms and address escalating ecological crises.
