This book analyses recent developments in international sustainable
development law (ISDL), a field emerging at the intersection
between international economic, environmental, and social law.
Hundreds of new bi-lateral, regional, and global treaties have been
negotiated in the areas of trade, environment, and development over
the past two decades, yet most of them face profound problems in
implementation. At the same time, disputes over human rights,
environmental protection, and economic development are increasingly
common. This book provides a long-awaited coherent approach which
can address conflicts and overlaps between international economic,
environmental, and social law. It surveys the international law
related to sustainable development; discussing proposed principles,
offering case studies that examine innovative aspects of key
international instruments, and reflecting on future legal research
agendas. Part I (Foundations) surveys the origins of the concept of
sustainable development, identifying and discussing the foundations
of its legal aspects. It also analyses the main results of the
World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. Part II
(Principles) examines the emerging principles of international law
related to sustainable development, based on the International Law
Association's New Delhi Declaration. Part III (Practices) provides
case studies of legal instruments and regimes that integrate
economic, social, and environmental aspects, illustrating the
challenges and innovative methodologies of recent years. Part IV
(Prospects) proposes cutting-edge research agendas in six priority
areas of intersection between international social, economic, and
environmental law, and examines the new international architecture
of sustainable development governance in light of the outcomes of
the 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development. Sustainable
Development Law is a guide, resource, and reference for scholars,
policy-makers, negotiators, and practitioners, and provides
students of social, economic, and environmental law with a coherent
introduction to the newly emerging law of international sustainable
development.
