Beskrivning
This book critically engages the emerging field of global animal law from the perspective of an intersectional ethical framework. Reconceptualising global animal law, this book argues that global animal law overrepresents views from the west as it does not sufficiently engage views from the Global South, as well as from Indigenous and other marginalised communities. Tracing this imbalance to the early development of animal law’s reaction to issues of international trade, the book elicits the anthropocentrism and colonialism that underpin this bias. In response, the book outlines a new, intersectional, second wave of animal ethics. Incorporating marginalised viewpoints, it elevates the field beyond the dominant concern with animal welfare and rights. And, drawing on aspects of decolonial thought, earth jurisprudence, intersectionality theory and posthumanism, it offers a fundamental rethinking of the very basis of global animal law. The book's critical, yet practical, new approach to global animal law will appeal to animal law and environmental law experts, legal theorists, and those working in the areas of animal studies and ecology.

"This is an important work for the fields of animal law, animal studies and international trade law. Realigning the major currents of animal protection by reference to decolonial theories, Offor argues for radical and real-world transition in the world of 'global' animal law." Yoriko Otomo, Global Research Network. "A welcome new direction for global animal law studies. Very strong in theory and conceptualisation, combined with deep legal analysis of international trade law and a high sensitivity for the plight of nonhuman animals." Anne Peters, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law, Heidelberg. "Iyan Offor’s Global Animal Law from the Margins brings a valuable underrepresented perspective to global animal law, applying the methodologies and insights of critical animal studies and intersectionalism. It is an important and necessary contribution to the scholarship." Katie Sykes, Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Law, Canada.
