"The present book is devoted to these questions. In part one, law and economics, the role of economic analysis and efficiency in law is examined more closely. Part two, law and sustainability, engages with the themes of sustainable development and justice to future generations. Finally, part three, law, economics and sustainability, addresses the interrelationships between the different aspects."

ABSTRACTInterdisciplinary in its approach and global in its perspective, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, provides a contemporary exploration of the economic, social, environmental, and policy issues raised by current systems of energy use. Emphasizing the important issue of sustainability, it analyzes the historical evolution of the world's energy systems, the principles underlying their use, and their present status and future prospects. Beginning with a survey of basic energy concepts, the book describes the magnitude and patterns of human energy needs at various levels. It moves on to an overview of the fossil and nuclear-fuelled energy that, together with hydroelectric power and traditional biofuels, supply most of the world's commercial energy needs. Sections on economics describe the basic methods through which the monetary costs of energy are calculated, also considering the "external" costs of energy production. Finally, the book looks at the sustainability issues associated with both fossil- and nuclear-fuel use--and considers the technological advancements and social developments that might solve these problems. Providing a truly interdisciplinary approach, Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate engineering students and undergraduates studying policy making.

"Analysing and synthesising vast data sets from a multitude of disciplines including climate science, economics, hydrology and agricultural research, this volume seeks new methods of combining climate change mitigation, adaptation, development, and poverty reduction in ways that are effective, efficient and equitable. A guiding principle of the project is that new alliances of state and non-state sector partners are urgently required to establish cooperative responses to the threats posed by climate change. This volume offers a vital policy framework for linking our response to this change with progressive principles of global justice and sustainable development."

"In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls raises a question which deserves our close attention: How to maintain the stability of the conception of justice in a wellordered society? He insightfully argues that moral sentiments, instead of selfinterest, play a critical role in maintaining that stability. However, the only moral sentiment he endorses is the sense of justice, which is shaped and determined by a rational conception of justice. Its content and forces, once shaped, are beyond the influences of contingencies of social relations. Rawls curiously ignores that other moral sentiments are also significant in maintaining the stability of justice. And he also overlooks that social relations are crucial to reproduce and maintain such moral sentiments. Therefore, this essays purports to answer this question: Suppose we have a consensus on an egalitarian idea of just distribution, what moral sentiments can maintain the stability of such idea in an ideally egalitarian society? We will first clarify our concept of moral sentiments. We then analyze and criticize Rawls’s theory of stability of justice. We adapt his theory and develop what we call a theory of relation-dependent moral sentiments. Two discourses will then be evaluated, David Miller’s nationalism and our proposal of an egalitarian common life. We argue that an egalitarian common life, brought about by egalitarian public services offered or regulated by the modern state, will provide the proper moral sentiments to support the stability of the egalitarian idea of justice in an egalitarian society"
