Abstract
This paper focuses on two paradigmatic court decisions on pesticide spraying in Argentina's agricultural zone and offers a socio-legal approach based primarily on legal sources. The first case was brought by a small town in the province of Santa Fe where spraying in the surrounding fields was stopped, and has paved the way for a growing number of similar cases in the last decade. The second case, involved a much larger area, namely the entire territory of the province of Entre Ríos, where more than a thousand rural schools are affected by the use of pesticides. The article proceeds in two sections which analyses each of the cases and identifies the legal innovations involved as well as the challenges that remain.

本文重点介绍了法院对阿根廷农业区农药喷洒问题做出的两起典型判决,并提供了一种主要基于法律渊源的社会法律方法。第一起案件是由圣菲省的一个小镇提起的,该小镇的周边田地停止喷洒农药,这为过去十年中越来越多的类似案件铺平了道路。第二起案件涉及的地区更大,即恩特雷里奥斯省的整个领土,该省有一千多所农村学校受到农药使用的影响。文章分两部分对每个案例进行了分析,并指出了其中涉及的法律创新以及仍然存在的挑战。 本文以 CC BY 许可方式公开发表:https://creativecommons.org/licences/by/4.0 。
期刊介绍:
The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
