Environmental criticism in light of environmental law legislation

This study examines environmental criticism as a contemporary analytical approach and explores its relationship with environmental law. It adopts a comparative analytical framework to assess the extent of convergence and divergence between ecocritical principles and legal rules governing environmental protection. The study identifies key elements of environmental criticism and traces their presence within environmental law at both international and national levels. The findings reveal partial alignment between the two fields, particularly in principles such as sustainability and intergenerational justice, while highlighting significant gaps in ethical and ecocentric dimensions. The study concludes by proposing an ecocritical framework to enhance environmental law and strengthen its responsiveness to contemporary ecological challenges.
