This edited collection analyzes the appropriate balance between
conservation and development and the place for participation and
popular protest in environmental assessment. Examining the
relationship between law, environmental governance and the
regulation of decision-making, this volume takes a reflective and
contextual approach, using wide range of theories, to explore the
key features of modern environmental assessment.
This collection of work from experts in the area in the US and
Europe provides a detailed treatment of key issues in environmental
assessment, encouraging an appreciation of where environmental
assessment has come from and how it could develop in the future. A
'stocktaking' exercise, this volume encompasses a broad range of
concerns, timescales and legal and policy contexts.
Individual chapters include discussions on:
- the development of EIA in the United States and Europe
- the interrelation of environmental assessment with other
regulatory regimes (water protection, environmental justice
initiatives, the European spatial strategy)
- the prospects for the digitalization of the environmental
assessment process
- the development and use of environmental impact assessment by
the European Commission, the UN/ECE and NGOs.
Looking at the rots and current state of environmental
assessment in the US and Europe and giving the reader a good sense
of the political, scientific and technological settings in which
environmental assessment has developed, this book critically
examines the dilemmas the law has found itself in since the
regulation of environmental assessment.
