About

Antonio Cardesa-Salzmann (PhD, University of Barcelona 2010) is Lecturer in EU Environmental Law at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, where he is also a member of the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance. His main research interests lie precisely in international and EU environmental law. Antonio’s current research focuses on assessing how legal systems, from a global perspective, interact and contribute to (or indeed hinder) more sustainable patterns of social reproduction. ‘Global Justice’, ‘Global Law’ and ‘Earth System Law’ are therefore increasingly important perspectives to his work.
