This timely volume provides fascinating insights into emerging
developments in the field of legal governance of the environment at
a time when environmental governance is increasingly concerned with
far more than legal doctrine. The expert contributors are concerned
with the totality of arrangements through which power and resources
are deployed to protect and restore natural resources, and how the
costs and benefits of this are allocated. They explore key issues
such as: how the community exercises its democratic rights; how
government responds to the needs of current and future generations
and balances the interests of the powerful with the powerless; the
freedoms and responsibilities of commerce and the holders of
property; and the ways in which laws and policies are informed by
science and other perspectives. The various ways in which legal
scholarship is pivotal to good governance are thus highlighted, as
is the extent of innovation being generated by current ecological,
economic and social challenges. Clearly demonstrating the
increasing breadth and depth of environmental law scholarship, this
thought-provoking book will prove an invaluable reference tool for
academics, students and researchers focusing on environmental law
and development. Contributors: A. Brower, Z. Chen, J.W. Dellapenna,
