The ecosystem approach embodies a concept of the environment which
emphasizes the integrated components of nature as complex adaptive
systems. This book examines the relationship between the
architecture and design of environmental law and the implementation
of the ecosystem approach as a means to maintain ecological
integrity. The main issue addressed is: in which manner and to what
extent does fragmentation and administrative discretion in
environmental law impede the implementation of an ecosystem
approach? This is explored through analysis of several questions:
what is an ecosystem approach and how could it be implemented; how
can economic evaluation of ecosystem services contribute to the
debate; to what extent is environmental law fragmented and how does
this affect the implementation of the ecosystem approach; to what
extent does environmental law contain administrative discretion and
how does this affect the implementation of the ecosystem approach;
is there a need for greater consistency, coherence and a stronger
rule of law in environmental law in light of the ecosystem
approach? The main focus is on Europe, with additional
international comparisons where appropriate. The book concludes by
providing a normative portrayal of future environmental law as
protective, systemic and predictable.
