This volume presents a critical analysis of transatlantic relations
in the field of environmental governance and climate change. The
work focuses on understanding the possible trends in the evolution
of global environmental governance and the prospects for breaking
the current impasse on climate action. Drawing on research
involving experts from eleven different universities and
institutes, the authors provide innovative analyses on policy
measures taken by the EU and the US, the world's largest economic
and commercial blocs, in a number of fields, ranging from general
attitudes on environmental leadership with regard to climate
change, to energy policies, new technologies for hydrocarbons
extraction and carbon capture, as well as the effects of extreme
weather events on climate-related political attitudes. The book
examines the way in which the current attitudes of the EU and the
US with regard to climate change will affect international
cooperation and the building of consensus on possible climate
policies, and looks to the future for international environmental
governance, arguably one of the most pressing concerns of
civilisation today. This book, which is based on research carried
out in the context of the EU-financed FP7 research project
TRANSWORLD, will appeal to academics, policy makers and
practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges
resulting from climate change.

The outsourcing of military and security services is the object of
intense legal debate. States employ private military and security
companies (PMSCs) to perform functions previously exercised by
regular armed forces. International organizations, non-governmental
organizations, and business corporations are increasingly doing the
same to provide security, particularly in crisis situations. Much
of the public attention on PMSCs has been in response to incidents
in which PMSC employees have been accused of violating
international humanitarian law. Therefore initiatives have been
launched to introduce uniform international standards amidst what
is currently very uneven national regulation. This book analyzes
and discusses the interplay between international, European, and
domestic regulatory measures in the field of PMSCs. It presents a
comprehensive assessment of the existing domestic legislation in EU
Member States and relevant Third States, and it identifies
implications for future international regulation. The book also
addresses the crucial questions of whether and how the EU can
potentially play a more active future role in the regulation of
PMSCs to ensure compliance with human rights and international
humanitarian law. (Series: Studies in International Law - Vol. 38)
