The Rockefeller Foundation in Sardinia: Pesticide Politics in the Struggle Against Malaria  
Marcus Hall 03/28/05
By most accounts within and beyond Italy today, the Rockefeller Foundation freed Sardinia of malaria, catalyzing the island's subsequent economic miracle. Yet malaria is an environmental issue as well as a health concern.

Learning from Environmental Justice: A New Model for International Environmental Rights  
Hari M. Osofsky 01/25/05
International environmental justice presents difficulties for courts and advocates seeking to characterize problems at this intersection of environmental, human rights, and anti-discrimination law. Osofsky draws from U.S. environmental justice advocacy to propose a model for approaching the application of international human rights law to instances of environmental injustice.

Environmental Values, Policy, and Conflict in India  
Shiv Visvanathan 12/10/02
Many think that Indian environmentalism arose in opposition to an anti-environmental government (as well as, at an earlier point, British colonial rule), leading to "a backward-thinking anti-ecological state and a pro-environmental civil society." In fact, what is really taking place is "a battle between two [strands] of environmental discourse," argues Shiv Visvanathan.

Understanding Environmental Values: A Cultural Theory Approach  
Michael Thompson 10/10/00
At this Environmental Values Project seminar, Thompson argues that the key to environmental policy is to put the decision making power in the hands of "clumsy institutions," institutions that cultivate a plurality of views and approaches.

Joanne Bauer 04/07/92
