La información, la participación ciudadana y el acceso a la justicia (derechos de acceso) son temas que están en constante debate en la doctrina del Derecho público. Las discusiones al respecto giran en torno a sus efectos, su naturaleza jurídica, sus características, los mecanismos de protección judicial y el impacto en la actuación administrativa. Tales cuestiones vienen siendo tratadas cada vez más por la doctrina, en materia ambiental son de enorme relevancia y adquieren gran interés a la luz del principio democrático del Estado: especialmente, al ser una posible respuesta a los con nietos ambientales. La justicia ambiental se ha ido consolidando como una demanda social (y ambiental) con una gran capacidad para transformar los ordenamientos jurídicos y acomodarlos a las necesidades ciudadanas. Uno de los aspectos más destacados de esa justicia ambiental es el acceso y con él, y a través de él, la formalización y materialización jurídica de los derechos que recrean y dan soporte a ese mismo acceso, a saber, la información ambiental, la participación ciudadana y el propio acceso a la jus­ticia ambiental stricto sensu.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Genre: Political Science
ISBN: 1351775472

This book was published in 2003.This book offers a broad and incisive analysis of the governance of privacy protection with regard to personal information in contemporary advanced industrial states. Based on research across many countries, it discusses the goals of privacy protection policy and the changing discourse surrounding the privacy issue, concerning risk, trust and social values. It analyzes at length the contemporary policy instruments that together comprise the inventory of possible solutions to the problem of privacy protection. It argues that privacy protection depends upon an integration of these instruments, but that any country's efforts are inescapably linked with the actions of others that operate outside its borders. The book concludes that, in a ’globalizing’ world, this regulatory interdependence could lead either to a search for the highest possible standard of privacy protection, or to competitive deregulation, or to a more complex outcome reflecting the nature of the issue and its policy responses.

Are efforts to protect workers' rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labor rights be implemented in a world in which national labor law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labor rights are to be protected in a globalized economy, exploring some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labor movement in the years ahead.
