Why there is a Need to Study Democracy When Linking Environment and Gender? The Case of Environmental Disasters

Abstract

The contemporary discussions on global warming led to a rapid spread of studies on environmental protection from green technology, recycling, gas omission, environmental pollution, to debates on alternative energy. With many studies addressing the impact of environmental pollution on our recent and future life the need to provide deeper analysis of such impact requires new scholarly attention. Within such focus could be placed studies of this volume that aim to enhance scholarly contribution to merge the few most pressing problems of the contemporary social sciences: the issues of diffusing democracy and its societal outcomes, the issues of our endangered natural environment and gender inequality in a global world. This study provides a glimpse into these three issues looking at the exiting links, interactions and interconnections between these aspects of scholarly and policy work.
