Summary

"This book - which is simultaneously a treatise on international environmental law, a comparative study of American and European approaches to environmental legal issues, and a deliberate integration of the various "branches" of environmental law into a new synthesis more suited to current and emerging realities - represents a cooperative achievement of two groups, American and German." "In addition to in-depth descriptions of all the problems that beset our planet's air, soil, water, wildlife, polar regions, and atmosphere - and the protection of these environmental elements under international, regional, and national legal instruments - this book examines the complex issues that lie at the heart of environmental law practice: liability, enforcement, compliance, due diligence, procedural obligations, performance standards, criminal sanctions, "debt-for-nature swaps", economic incentives and disincentives, reparation, dispute settlement, the powerful presence of the international trade regime, and many others. Some of the book's most revealing insights are to be found in its comparison of the authority and effectiveness of different approaches to common problems, such as the environmental laws and policies of Germany and the United States, and those contained in the European Union's environmental regime and the environmental side agreements to NAFTA." "Anyone with an interest in environmental law, from a beginning student to an experienced activist, corporate counsel, or policymaker, will find this book to be of value and usefulness."--BOOK JACKET.
