This book provides a practical, functional comparison among various
institutions, tools, implementation practices and norms in
environmental law across legal cultures. This is a new approach
that focuses on the act of comparison, looking at legal practice,
from the ground up, including the perspective of citizens. Most
literature on comparative environmental law either focuses on a
two-way comparison of state jurisdictions or simply juxtaposes
environmental features of two or more state jurisdictions without
engaging in any analysis of the comparison. However, this book
treats legal cultures as the objects of comparison as it provides
practical comparisons among various institutions, tools and norms
in environmental law. The arrangement and organisation of the
material reverses the more traditional presentation of comparative
environmental law as a series of countries within which separate
descriptions are respectively presented. In this book the reader is
presented with environmental legal themes, with examples and case
studies drawn from various cultures that are compared in order to
help understand the theme. Case studies draw on the authors'
experiences in a range of legal cultures, including in Australia,
Brazil, China, Chile, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Nigeria, Slovakia,
and the USA. The comparative nature of the book allows domestic
professionals to develop skills to enable them to understand and
advocate broader contexts for clients, and helps students become
more aware of specific legal systems while questioning why their
own system functions (or does not function) as it does. The book is
aimed at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of
environmental law as well as researchers and practitioners.
