The book Economic Thought & Political and Legal Protection of the Environment by Panayotis Galanis is an extensive study that examines the interaction between economic theories and legal protection of the environment, focusing on the principle of sustainable development. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the author explores the evolution of economic thought in relation to the environment, from classical economists like Adam Smith and Malthus to contemporary approaches (and the economic analysis of Public Law) that incorporate sustainability and the protection of natural resources.
The book documents the challenges and opportunities arising from the need for a balance between economic development and environmental protection. It analyzes topics such as climate change, environmental taxation, green bonds, ESG, circular economy, and the principle of "the polluter pays." It also explores property rights in the environment and the role of the market in managing environmental resources, extending into the field of urban planning.
This book is ideal for legal scholars, economists, environmentalists, engineers, and political scientists seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the convergence of economic and legal frameworks in environmental protection. It is also aimed at students and researchers interested in sustainable development and its impacts on society and the economy. With rich content and analysis, this book offers valuable insights and reflections for shaping policies and practices that promote sustainability.
