Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmental Law and Economics Volumes I and II
Book SynopsisThe regulation of environmental pollution has long been a serious subject of study for scholars of economic analysis of law. This two volume collection explores central issues in the relationship between these two topics. It includes material on private law and property rights, presenting a critique of market failure and asking questions about the role of tort law remedies in regulating the environment. It is concerned not only with the remedies as such, but also with the impact of the common law in shaping the behaviour of actors in the market. It then moves on to issues of public law and interventions in market arrangements, looking at events of market failure, the idea of pollution as an externality, modes of regulation and instances of regulatory failure. These volumes contain the classic law and economics literature relating to environmental regulation, creating an indispensable source of reference.Table of ContentsContents: Volume I: Introduction; Part I Private Law and Property Rights: Critique of Market Failure: The problem of social cost, R.H.

Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd Earth Is Our Business
Book SynopsisEarth is our Business takes forward the argument of Polly Higgins' first book, Eradicating Ecocide. This book proposes new Earth law, but it is also about something more than law: it advocates a new form of leadership which places the health and well-being of people and planet first. Polly Higgins shows how law can provide the tools and be a bridge to a new way of doing business. She argues, in fact, that Earth is the business of us all, not the exclusive preserve of the executives of the world's top corporations.Expanding on the proposal in her first book to make Ecocide an international crime, this book sets out the institutional framework for sustainable development and international environmental governance. It proposes new rules of the game to transform our economies, energy supplies and political landscape in a radical, but practical, way. The implications of Polly Higgins' proposal are far-reaching and profound.Like her award-winning first book, Earth is our Business is written

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Law of Wreck
Book SynopsisThis book covers wreck law as an integrated whole, going beyond the question of removal to include issues such as the ownership of wreck and how the law deals with the many commercial law problems arising after ships have been wrecked during the maritime commercial adventure. The book offers authoritative guidance on the genesis and meaning of the Nairobi Wreck Removal Convention 2007, and the interpretation of its often-complex provisions as they apply both to States trying to use its powers and to shipowners and liability insurers faced by its obligations. The authors explain the increasingly complex inter-relationship between linked areas of maritime law, including salvage, intervention and the overlapping international regimes which deal with pollution from oil, bunkers or hazardous and noxious substances. The book examines how a salvage operation transitions to wreck removal and links the liability provisions with the standard form international commercial contracts actuTable of ContentsPart I Wreck in National and International Law; 1 Introduction to Wreck Casualties 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmental Rights
Book SynopsisThe essays selected for this volume present critical viewpoints from the debate about the need to establish rights on behalf of greater environmental protection. Three main areas for developing environmental rights are surveyed, including: extensionist theories that link existing rights (for example to subsistence or territory) to threats of harm from exacerbated resource scarcity, pollution or rapid environmental change; proposals for rights to specified environmental goods or services, such as rights to a safe environment and the capacity to assimilate greenhouse gas emissions; and rights that protect the interests of parties not currently recognized as having rights, including nonhuman subjects, natural objects and future generations. This volume captures the potential for and primary challenges to the development of rights as instruments for safeguarding the planet''s life-support capacities and features proposals and analyses which argue the need to create an avenue of recoTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Part I Human Rights: General: Environmental injustice and human rights abuse: the states, MNCs, and repression of minority groups in the world system, Francis O.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Environmental Justice
Book SynopsisThis collection of scholarly articles takes as its subject matter discourses on environmental justice. The concept emerged in recent decades as an important framing concept for a wide variety of environmental movements and objectives, and has gained considerable currency due to the scope and normative force that its principles contain, whether in legal, political, or philosophical applications. This collection is an invaluable resource for researchers and scholars in this field given that the multiple theories and analyses of environmental justice are likely to remain central to the ongoing development of normative theorizing about the human role in the environment in the foreseeable future.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Limits of Private Governance: Norms and Rules
Book SynopsisIs there a future for the law? In this book, Florian Grisel addresses one of the most fascinating questions raised by social scientists in the past few decades. Since the 1980s, socio-legal scholars have argued that governance based on social norms (or “private governance”) can offer an alternative to regulation by the law. On this account, private governance could be socially efficient and even optimal compared with other modes of governance. The Limits of Private Governance supplements this optimistic analysis of private governance by assessing the long-term evolution of a private order in the fishery of Marseille. In the last eight centuries, the fishers of Marseille have regulated their community without apparent means of legal support from the French state. In the early 15th century, they even created an organisation called the Prud'homie de Pêche in order to regulate their fishery. Based on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, Grisel examines the evolution of the Prud’homie de Pêche and argues that the strong social norms in which it is embedded are not only powerful tools of governance, but also forces of inertia that have constrained its regulatory action. The lessons drawn from this book will appeal to academics, policy-makers and members of the general public who have an interest in the governance of our modern societies.Trade ReviewA fascinating contribution to research on governance and organisation … The book’s significance lies in Grisel’s intervention in debates on private governance, but more concretely in his deploying the Prud’homie’s long history to show how human experience can shape and drive institutions and in turn how institutions give those experiences form. -- Ciarán O’Kelly * Frontiers of Socio-Legal Studies *Table of ContentsPART I GENESIS 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Toxics and Transnational Law: International and
Book SynopsisAs an environmental issue transcending national boundaries,the spread of toxic substances in the environment, with harmful consequences for ecosystems and human health has become the focus of transnational regulatory efforts in a variety of international fora. In order to address the problems created by transboundary toxic movements a set of binding as well as non-binding norms are being developed at the European and international level. This book analyses the development and effectiveness of transnational toxics law through two case studies: one dealing with the European regional regime for the control of toxic discharges in the aquatic environment and the other looking at the emerging global regime for the regulation of international trade in hazardous pesticides. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and political framework in EU law for the reduction of inputs of hazardous substances in the marine and freshwater environment, and in regional agreements for the protection of the marine environment of the North Sea and Northeast Atlantic, Baltic Sea and Mediterranean. It also offers a critical account of the development of soft and hard law regulating exports of banned and severely restricted pesticides from industrialised to developing countries; from the resolutions of the United Nations Environment Programme and General Assembly in the late 1970s, to the signing of the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure in 1998. The author shows that international normative efforts in these two fields have proved much more productive in establishing procedural obligations for states than in laying down actual substantive standards to govern their conduct, and argues that transnational environmental law may be valued by governments more for its symbolic, value-expressive function, than for any real problem-solving capacity.Trade ReviewPallemaerts' discussion of the issues confirms that he possesses a thorough understanding of the pertinent regulatory regimes well-presented, well-argued, sophisticated and coherent an interesting and highly informative book.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Environmental Judicial Review
Book SynopsisJudicial review of environmental decisions is an important and growing area of public law. But although the general principles of judicial review have been clearly mapped out, their application to the particular context of the environment is under-explored. This book therefore seeks to provide a detailed and critical account of environmental judicial review in both domestic and EU law. Part I explains the central principles of environmental law, such as the polluter pays principle and the precautionary principle, and shows how they influence the application of public law standards of legality. Part II considers the procedure for judicial review with particular emphasis on standing, protective costs and the availability of interim relief. Part III consists of a detailed examination of how each of the grounds for judicial review is applied in the environmental context. It highlights the increased emphasis on consultation and public participation in environmental matters, the degree of deference afforded by the courts to scientific and political judgments, and the prevalence of ‘hard-edged’ questions of law. Part IV focuses on EU law and examines direct and indirect actions before the EU courts, preliminary references and state liability. It also considers infraction proceedings brought by the EU Commission, the role of individuals and NGOs in relation to such proceedings and the interrelationships between infraction proceedings and judicial review. Finally, Part V explains the complex regime governing access to environmental information.Trade Review...the author has produced a fine book, which is extremely well written, is comprehensive in its approach and covers the key areas one would hope for in a specialist text of this nature. -- Paul Stookes * Journal of Environmental Law, Volume 24, Issue 2 *Richard Moules' book is a gold mine of information on a fascinating area of environmental law. The book is noteworthy for three main reasons. First, it does not assume any previous detailed knowledge of environmental or administrative law; where it is necessary for the development of a narrative the author provides all the necessary background material...The second noteworthy characteristic of the book is the emphasis on case law. There are approximately 1000 cases referred to (I didn't count them all but the Table of Cases runs over 14 pages) and to say that Moules has been exhaustive in his trawl for relevant cases is an understatement...What is perhaps surprising is the third noteworthy thing about this book. It is a very enjoyable read! While it is certainly not a book to be read in a single sitting it is much more than just a reference book for dipping in to. Moules traces a story about judicial review that is both fascinating and informative and has produced a book that will be a worthy addition to any environmental lawyer's bookshelf. -- Professor Lynda Warren * Environmental Liability, Volume 19, Issue 6 *Table of ContentsPart I: General Principles 1 Introduction 2 Sources and Objectives of Environmental Law and Policy 3 General Principles of Environmental Law Part II: Procedure 4 T he Claim for Judicial Review 5 Standing 6 Disclosure 7 Costs and Litigation Funding 8 Remedies Part III: Grounds for Judicial Review 9 Error of Law and Fact 10 Retention of Discretion 11 Abuse of Discretion: Illegality 12 Legitimate Expectations 13 Procedural Fairness I: Fair Hearings 14 Procedural Fairness II: The Rule against Bias 15 Human Rights and the Environment Part IV: European Union Law 16 T he Effect of EU Law 17 Preliminary References to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) 18 T he Action for Annulment and the Action for Failure to Act 19 Enforcement by the European Commission Part V: Access to Environmental Information 20 Access to Environmental Information

The key to this brave new world of localism is the Neighbourhood Development Plan, which enables local communities to make planning policies for their area that have statutory effect and which must be taken into account by decision makers. But how does a neighbourhood plan get off the ground? How do communities make sure that it comes into force? And, more importantly, what are the essential features of an effective plan; one that can withstand the often intense pressures for new development? This unique book answers these and many other questions faced by neighbourhood planners with a clear, pragmatic focus and in sufficient depth to arm both lay readers and planning professionals with the knowledge they need to operate effectively within this novel planning regime. Along the way, some of the less well-known planning rules and procedures that can be invoked by neighbourhood planning groups and others at a local level are also explained. The author, a planning lawyer and consultant who has helped many parishes and communities since the advent of neighbourhood planning, also helpfully explores the place of neighbourhood planning within the wider planning system and offers a fascinating assessment of the potential of neighbourhood planning to address a whole range of important environmental issues. This insight and expertise makes The Power of Neighbourhood Planning an essential resource for everyone involved - whether as an interested member of the public, local councillor or parish clerk – or as a planning professional looking for an incisive introduction to this often controversial topic.

The University of Chicago Press Environmental Law for Biologists
Book SynopsisEnvironmental law has an unquestionable effect on the species, ecosystems, and landscapes that biologists studyand vice-versa, as the research of these biologists frequently informs policy. But because many scientists receive little or no legal training, we know relatively little about the precise ways that laws affect biological systemsand, consequently, about how best to improve these laws and better protect our natural resources. With Environmental Law for Biologists, ecologist and lawyer Tristan Kimbrell bridges this gap in legal knowledge. Complete with a concise introduction to environmental law and an appendix describing the most important federal and international statutes and treaties discussed, the book is divided into four broad parts: laws that focus on individual species, like invasive species policies, the Endangered Species Act, and international treaties such as CITES; laws that focus on land, from federal public lands to agricultural regulations and urban planning; laws that focus on water, such as the Clean Water Act; and laws that focus on air, such as the Clean Air Act and international measures meant to mitigate global climate change. Written for working biologists and students alike, this book will be a catalyst for both more effective policy and enhanced research, offering hope for the manifold frictions between science and the law.

Columbia University Press Urban Climate Law
Book SynopsisAimed at a nonspecialist audience, this book provides concise and comprehensible answers to the core questions cities confront when seeking to develop legally sound local climate policy.Trade ReviewLocal governments are often seen as the engines of climate innovation, and they are. Cities imagine, test, and implement new approaches that, when successful, are adopted across states and beyond. Urban Climate Law provides an important and accessible resource that outlines, in plain language, the legal guardrails that must be considered by local governments as they create new pathways for climate progress. -- Gina McCarthy, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and first White House National Climate AdvisorCities are central to addressing the biggest sources of greenhouse gases—transportation, buildings, energy generation, and waste. Doing so is legally complex. This book is the first to delineate the legal frameworks and areas of law that apply to local climate policy making. It will help local governments craft sounder policies with increased awareness of the legal constraints and opportunities within which cities operate. -- Michael B. Gerrard, professor and faculty director, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law SchoolUrban Climate Law is the resource by lawyers for city practitioners that we’ve been waiting for. As climate change policy in cities requires governments to act boldly and think creatively, there is a constant stream of legal questions that create uncertainty at the local level. This book is going to be the building block needed to unlock city-led action in addressing the climate crisis. -- Laura Jay, regional director for North America, C40 CitiesMichael Burger and Amy E. Turner provide an excellent high-level overview of how U.S. cities can enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the legal obstacles they may face. -- Katrina M.

Yale University Press Laws Environment
Book SynopsisShows how our reliance on environmental law affects the natural environment through an examination of places in the American landscape such as: Adak Island far off the coast of western Alaska; the Susquehanna River running through New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland; Colton in California's Inland Empire; and, Alamogordo in southern New Mexico.Trade Review"Nagle reveals a remarkably nuanced understanding of the many ways that law affects the landscape. I wanted to visit each place after reading the book and found myself looking differently at the landscape around me."—Michael P. Vandenbergh, Carlton Takington Professor of Law and Director, Climate Change Research Network, Vanderbilt University Law School -- Michael P. Vandenbergh“Environmental law and policy are usually talked about in abstract terms. It's easy to lose track of the concrete settings that shape environmental law. This is a two-way interaction: the law itself is shaped by particular disputes in particular places. Professor Nagle resurrects this lost dimension of environmental law in lively, readable narratives. He tells the stories of some of the special places that have been touched by environmental law and of the people who live there. A ‘must read’ for anyone who cares about how the law and the land affect each other.”—Dan Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law and Chair, Energy and Resources Group -- Dan Farber“Nagle has written an important book on environmental law that should be of great interest to students and scholars of law and society.”—J.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Environmental Management Systems and Cleaner
Book SynopsisEnvironmental Management Systems (EMSs) are a way in which business and industry can implement a system of self-regulation on their processes, in order to aid the promotion of clean technology. This book brings together wide ranging analysis and practical experience on Environmental Management Systems and Cleaner Production. This highlights the importance of a clear understanding of complex environmental issues and the relative impact of business and industry, linked to national and international standards and regulations, in developing an efficient Environmental Management System. The book begins by addressing the global dimension of EMSs and Cleaner Production by identifying the strategies and policies used to promote cleaner production in industry and the drivers for voluntary EMSs like the international standard ISO 14001; and their implications for business and trade. This is followed by focusing on selected national perspectives, examining the policies, strategies and initiativesTable of ContentsPartial table of contents: THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Controlling Environmental Risks from Chemicals
Book SynopsisCommercial chemicals contribute to our social welfare, yet can pose serious problems for the environment. How do we recognise these problems? How do we manage them? How do we objectively balance environmental risks with social benefits? This book describes the principles and practices of ecological risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis, asking key but challenging questions such as ''what are we trying to protect?'' and ''how do we undertake a cost-benefit analysis?''. It also shows how these principles are written into legislation. The emphasis is on the EU Directives and Regulations, with a chapter on the instruments and institutions involved; but this is balanced by a review of US and International policies and legislation. In conclusion, the discussion returns to the question of attempting to balance risks with benefits, particularly in the context of the development of sustainable and globally practicable chemical control policies.
