Alexander Gillespie je uznávaný právny učenec, ktorého práca sa ponára do zložitostí medzinárodného environmentálneho práva a udržateľného rozvoja. Jeho výskum kriticky skúma koncept pokroku a spochybňuje jeho udržateľnosť v rámci globálneho právneho rámca. Prostredníctvom svojho rozsiahleho štúdia ponúka hlbokú analýzu výziev a paradoxov, ktoré sú neodmysliteľné v medzinárodnej environmentálnej diplomacii a politike.
International Environmental Law, Policy, and Ethics investigates the ethical and political justifications for the international legal regime protecting the environment, and analyses in detail the myriad challenges these justifications can face.
Unsustainable Development in International Law and Policy
Challenging the concept of sustainable development, this book critically examines its true implications and effectiveness. The author contends that while the narrative promotes social and environmental sustainability, key issues like consumption, population growth, and equity are often overlooked or misrepresented in international policies. By analyzing economic growth, market structures, trade, and other critical areas, the book reveals how the current development framework diverges from the genuine goals of sustainability, leading to unintended consequences.

This is the second volume of a projected five-volume series charting the causes of war from 3000 BCE to the present day, written by a leading international lawyer, and using as its principal materials the documentary history of international law, largely in the form of treaties and the negotiations which led up to them. These volumes seek to show why millions of people, over thousands of years, slew each other. In departing from the various theories put forward by historians, anthropologists and psychologists, Gillespie offers a different taxonomy of the causes of war, focusing on the broader settings of politics, religion, migrations and empire-building. These four contexts were dominant and often overlapping justifications during the first four thousand years of human civilisation, for which written records exist.
