      abstract = {The Aarhus Convention on access to information, public  participation in decision-making and access to justice in  environmental matters has been celebrated as a pioneering  international environmental agreement. Given that a  quarter-century has passed since Aarhus was opened for  signature, now is an opportune moment to revisit it from a  fresh perspective. Marking this anniversary, this book  explores Aarhus from the vista of the English School of  International Relations, an ethically-minded perspective  used to gauge the prevalence of state-oriented and  human-oriented progress from the Convention's rationales  and realities. It firstly considers Aarhus' propagation,  investigating the legal, diplomatic and geopolitical  contexts enabling its emergence. It secondly investigates  Aarhus' germination, with reference to its trinity of  procedural rights. Thirdly, the book examines the  Convention's growth, in terms of the development of its  organisational infrastructure. The chief finding is that  Aarhus demonstrates, in environmental contexts, the  feasibility and benefit of fostering 'humankind' solidarist  progress, rooted in moral cosmopolitanism, within the  existing power arrangements of a sovereignty-based  pluralism. Pluralist concerns for diversity and  international order are found to be a precondition for more  ethically ambitious solidarist endeavours. These  observations reinforce the logic of solidarisation, an  English School innovation that presents sovereignty as (a)  being ethically matured by solidarism whilst (b) delimiting  solidarism within the threshold of states' tolerance.
