The yearbook of European environmental law, Vol.2

Abstract:

This book does what it says it does on the cover - bringing together topical analyses of contemporary European environmental law. The editor asserts in his preface that European environmental policy has entered a crucial phase and a wide range of challenging issues, such as civil liability, the formation of international environmental law and the use of enhanced co-operation are covered in articles contributed by an impressive array of leading European and American scholars.

These commentaries are followed by a detailed and user-friendly survey of the key developments in environmental law, broken down by theme and then by Member State. This annual survey offers legal practitioners, policy-makers and academics an indispensable reference work on current and future European environmental law.

The work also includes a selection of book reviews of the latest publications in the European environment sphere as well as summaries and full texts of preparatory Commission documents, green books, and other discussion papers.

The volume will be useful to lawyers, political scientists, policy makers, students and academics in the fields of environmental law and European studies.
