All too often, international environmental law is presented as a
kind of guided tour of different treaties and environmental
problems. Professor Hey succeeds beautifully in articulating the
themes that connect all of these disparate areas, an effort that
both students and scholars will appreciate.' - Daniel Farber,
University of California, Berkeley, US'This volume presents a
superb overview of international environmental law by a long-time
observer. Ellen Hey shares her deep insight into the historical,
environmental, technical and policy context of the law, and
introduces the reader to regulatory techniques and choices, the
main legal tools at actors' disposal, and the key developments in
the field. The result is an accessible, yet sophisticated
introduction to the evolution of the field, and its expanding modes
of action and range of participants.' - Jutta Brunee, University of
Toronto, Canada 'This is a significant contribution from a leading
figure in the field. Of particular note is the effort to embed
international environmental law in its broader context, not only
through the detailed analysis of its foundational principles or of
its deep interactions with other fields of international law but,
more generally, through the overarching theme of the Anthropocene.
It is to be thoroughly recommended.' - Jorge E. Vinuales,
University of Cambridge, UK Elgar Advanced Introductions are
stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the
social sciences and law, expertly written by the world's leading
scholars. This accessible and concise introduction provides a
salient overview of contemporary international environmental law as
well as a critical assessment of the controversies that arise when
trying to achieve environmental protection through international
law. Covering the origins, content, institutional structure and
accountability mechanisms of international environmental law, in
their social-economic and political context, Ellen Hey discusses
substantive and procedural fairness, thus exploring questions of
distributive justice, accountability and legitimacy. Providing an
invaluable entry point to this complex area of the law, this book
enables a rapid understanding of the core principles of this
multi-faceted topic. Key features include: - Concise and compact
overview - Discusses contemporary developments - Examines IEL's
relationship to other areas of international law - Considers the
social-economic context.
