This volume returns to one of the major themes of the Global Ecological Integrity Group: the interface between integrity as a scientific concept and a number of important issues in ethics, international law and public health. The main scholars who have worked on these topics over the years return to re-examine these dimensions from the viewpoint of global governance.

Dr Laura Westra holds doctorates in both Philosophy and Jurisprudence, and has taught in the fields of philosophy, ethics and environmental law at several US, Canadian and Italian universities. She is the founder of the Global Ecological Integrity Group and the author/editor of 24 books, including Ecoviolence and the Law, Environmental Justice and the Rights of Unborn and Future Generations, Environmental Justice and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Environmental Justice and the Rights of Ecological Refugees, and Globalization, Violence, and World Governance.Dr Klaus Bosselmann, born in Germany, is Professor of Law and Director of the New Zealand Centre for Environmental Law at the University of Auckland. He is currently Chair of the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law Ethics Specialist Group. Among his numerous books are Im Namen der Natur, When Two Worlds Collide, Environmental Justice and Market Mechanisms, Environmental Law for a Sustainable Society and The Principle of Sustainability.Dr Colin Soskolne is based in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. He holds a doctorate in Epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania. His prior training was in the country of his birth, South Africa, at the University of the Witwatersrand.
