Chosen justice question particularly relevant for the regulatory/policy framework (in the light of JUSTNORTH research, aimed at supporting future justice-focused research on Arctic governance):
Weighting values: Does the framework promote certain values and interests at the expense of others? Whose interests are being promoted? Is the framework trying to strike a balance, promote certain interests or obscure the tensions within society, including individual vs group/community/global community interests?
Procedural justice: What are the opportunities for participation in decision-making and who is envisaged as a stakeholder?
Inclusion and participation: Are all relevant stakeholders/rightsholders included in the governance/decision-making process and are there any important stakeholders who are excluded?
Climate justice: How is the implementation of a law/policy affected by climate changes?
Environmental justice and ethics: What identifiable actual or potential environmental harms and benefits are governed by the given regulatory framework? How are they distributed?
Environmental justice and ethics: What are the anthro-, bio- or eco-centric elements of a given regulatory framework? What norms and ideologies lie behind this orientation? What are the efects of this orientation on different measures within the regulation/policy?
Rights: Which rights and rights frameworks are expressly included in the governance framework, which are missing? |
