Description
The Ecology of War and Peace investigates the relationship between environmental degradation, structural violence, and international legal frameworks. Eliana Cusato argues that contemporary international law prioritizes visible, acute conflicts while systematically marginalizing slow and structural forms of violence—including environmental destruction, resource depletion, and systemic inequality.
Through an ecological lens, the book demonstrates how traditional warfare and peace-building mechanisms fail to address the interconnected nature of violence in natural and social systems. Cusato challenges conventional legal approaches and proposes frameworks that recognize environmental harm as a form of violence deserving international legal protection. This work is essential for scholars of international law, environmental studies, peace and conflict studies, and those seeking to understand the hidden violence embedded in ecological destruction and structural inequality.
