Environmental justice and its borders : Croatian nuclear waste management
Through the example of nuclear waste management and related policies in Croatia, the thesis examines the elements of environmental justice: its importance and relevance for nuclear waste management, and the principles that can provide sustainability to the case of this study. This is achieved by the review of data made available by the stakeholders, including media; review of the studies carried out so far and consideration of applied science in the wider social context. Furthermore, eight interviews were carried out in the field helping identify efforts made so far toward environmental justice. The results of the interviews were further tested through a survey among the affected populations (over 50 participants in the survey). The study identified infringements of some of the core principles of environmental justice, which should be addressed in a further study of the natural and social environment surrounding the case.
