International trade rules have significant impacts on environmental
law and policy, at the domestic, regional and global levels. At the
World Trade Organization (WTO), dispute settlement tribunals are
increasingly called to decide on environment- and health-related
questions. Can governments treat products differently based on
environmental considerations? Can they block the import of highly
carcinogenic asbestos-containing products or genetically modified
crops? Does the WTO allow governments to protect dolphins or
endangered sea turtles through the use of import restrictions on
certain products? How can civil society participate in WTO dispute
settlement? This Guide, authored by five world leaders on
international environmental and trade law at the Center for
International Environmental Law (CIEL), is an accessible,
comprehensive, one-of-a-kind compendium of environment and trade
jurisprudence under the WTO. Providing an overview for both experts
and non-experts of the major themes relevant to environment and
trade, it also analyses how WTO tribunals have approached these
themes in concrete disputes and provides selected excerpts of the
most significant cases.
International Law for the Environment is a comprehensive exposition
of contemporary international environmental law and the governance
institutions that implement it. Part I sets out the drivers of
threats to the planet's air, water and social support systems, the
philosophical, economic, and scientific foundations of the legal
responses to these threats, and the customary and treaty-based
legal regimes that have emerged. Also addressed in Part I are the
intersections between the environment and human rights and
environmental disasters and emergencies. These regimes are placed
in the context of general international law. Part II introduces the
students to the major treaty-based regimes such as those addressing
transboundary air and water pollution, the control of pollutants
which deplete the ozone layer, global climate change, the
protection of oceans, polar regions, and outer space, the disposal
of hazardous wastes outside the country of origin, the protection
and allocation of fresh waters and the restoration of degraded
aquatic ecosystems, and the conservation of biological diversity.
Also addressed are the linkages between agricultural production and
the environment. Part III examines the integration of environmental
considerations with respect to other areas of international law and
the influence of those areas on the development of international
environmental law, including a new chapter examining the
relationship between armed conflict and the environment, and health
and the environment, as well as chapters exploring international
trade law, and the financing of sustainable development. Part IV
provides an overview of the international legal system, including
the international institutions and governance issues concerned with
international environmental protection, as well as international
dispute settlement. Throughout, the book explores the incorporation
of international environmental law principles and treaty
obligations into national judicial decisions and legislation. In
addition, this new edition includes exercises for students in every
chapter.

Economics, Education, Geography, History, Law, Music, Philosophy

III examines the integration of environmental considerations into
international regimes such as human rights and environmental
justice, international trade law and the financing of sustainable
development. Environmental governance is discussed in Part IV,
together with material on international environmental institutions
and the international legal system. Throughout the book the
incorporation of international environmental law principles and
treaty obligations into national judicial decisions and legislation
is stressed.
In this lively and stimulating study, Roger Magraw examines how the
19th-century French bourgeoisie struggled and eventually succeeded
in consolidating the gains it made in 1789. The book describes the
attempts of the bourgeoisie to remold France in its own image and
its strategy for overcoming the resistance from the old
aristocratic and clerical elites and the popular classes.
Incorporating the most recent research on religion and
anticlericalism, the development of the economy, the role of women
in society, and the educational system, this work is the first to
draw extensively on the new social history in its interpretation of
events in 19th-century France.
