The normative and institutional distance travelled since UNCHE has
been considerable. There have been notable successes, but more
often than not environmental indicators continue to evince
disturbing downward trends. This collection brings together
cutting-edge scholarship designed to explore where we have been,
where we are, and where we might be going - Global Environmental
Law at a Crossroads. Contributors explore the continuing challenges
we face, but they also look ably and deeply at the opportunities
for improvement in governance that might address these challenges.
For those concerned where we are headed, this will be a welcome
addition to the library.' - Donald K. Anton, The Australian
National University College of Law'This is a remarkable publication
wherein some of the world s leading environmentalists discuss in an
informed and transparent manner global, regional and national
environmental challenges. The unique character of this book is that
it links global issues of the environment (sustainable development;
the creation of the World Environmental Organization) with national
issues such as the right of nature in Ecuador. The book also
presents a critical overview of the Rio+20 Conference. The
particular feature of this outstanding book is its very analytical
and straightforward approach to environmental issues adopted by its
authors. Such a book is a must to all environmental lawyers,
scholars and practitioners and in particular for a young generation
of people who are interested in our planet.' - Malgosia
Fitzmaurice, Queen Mary University of London Global Environmental
Law at a Crossroads analyzes cutting-edge developments in
environmental law around the globe. Written in the aftermath of the
'Rio+20' conference, this book addresses environmental governance
from the international, regional and national levels. The topics
include climate change initiatives, market-based environmental
measures, water and food systems management, environmental
governance structures and theories, and examples of environmental
policy innovations from around the world. The global coverage draws
on experiences from the EU, the Middle East, China, Brazil,
Ecuador, Nigeria, Ethiopia, New Zealand and Australia. This book
will be a useful resource to scholars and students of environmental
law and policy. Government and environmental officials as well as
resource managers will find of interest the analyses of varied
experiences around the world. These comparative experiences provide
a rich introduction to the emerging field of global environmental
law. Contributors: R. Ako, M.B. Tekle, P. Chen, D. Craig, E. Daly,
