The central idea animating environmental impact assessment (EIA) is
that decisions affecting the environment should be made through a
comprehensive evaluation of predicted impacts. Notwithstanding
their evaluative mandate, EIA processes do not impose specific
environmental standards, but rely on the creation of open,
participatory and information rich decision-making settings to
bring about environmentally benign outcomes. In light of this
tension between process and substance, Neil Craik assesses whether
EIA, as a method of implementing international environmental law,
is a sound policy strategy, and how international EIA commitments
structure transnational interactions in order to influence
decisions affecting the international environment. Through a
comprehensive description of international EIA commitments and
their implementation with domestic and transnational governance
structures, and drawing on specific examples of transnational EIA
processes, the author examines how international EIA commitments
can facilitate interest coordination, and provide opportunities for
persuasion and for the internalisation of international
environmental norms.
