Scarcity of water, floods and erosion caused by climate change have
made the management of water resources a challenge to national and
international actors worldwide. States have also initiated water
projects to improve social welfare, often with significant impacts
on the environment. This book combines close analysis of the legal
structures of water rights with consideration of the modes of water
management projects to illustrate current water-related problems in
terms of practical solutions in a global context. The book begins
by surveying the current categories of water-related rights to
clarify the role of public and private law in water allocation.
Many important watercourses cross state borders, so the book pays
close attention to transboundary water management including the
legal and economic approaches of the European Union. Human rights
and participation are also shown to play an increasingly important
role in terms of both law and financing of water projects. Case
studies illustrate the development of practical strategies for
environmentally friendly and socially acceptable solutions, notably
through the concept of adaptive water management. This book will
appeal to academics in environmental law, as well as researchers
and project groups in organisations dealing with water management
and human rights. Contributors include: N. Bankes, A. Belinskij, H.

Climate Change and the Law is the first scholarly effort to
systematically address doctrinal issues related to climate law as
an emergent legal discipline. It assembles some of the most
recognized experts in the field to identify relevant trends and
common themes from a variety of geographic and professional
perspectives. In a remarkably short time span, climate change has
become deeply embedded in important areas of the law. As a global
challenge calling for collective action, climate change has
elicited substantial rulemaking at the international plane,
percolating through the broader legal system to the regional,
national and local levels. More than other areas of law, the
normative and practical framework dedicated to climate change has
embraced new instruments and softened traditional boundaries
between formal and informal, public and private, substantive and
procedural; so ubiquitous is the reach of relevant rules nowadays
that scholars routinely devote attention to the intersection of
climate change and more established fields of legal study, such as
international trade law. Climate Change and the Law explores the
rich diversity of international, regional, national, sub-national
and transnational legal responses to climate change. Is climate law
emerging as a new legal discipline? If so, what shared objectives
and concepts define it? How does climate law relate to other areas
of law? Such questions lie at the heart of this new book, whose
thirty chapters cover doctrinal questions as well as a range of
thematic and regional case studies. As Christiana Figueres,
Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC), states in her preface, these chapters
collectively provide a "review of the emergence of a new
discipline, its core principles and legal techniques, and its
relationship and potential interaction with other disciplines."

Dieser Band gibt den Gesamtbericht tiber das 14. internationale
Symposion, das die C.LLA. vom 8.-11. Oktober 1972 in Saarbrticken
durchftihrte, wieder. Wir sind glticklich dartiber, daG er bereits
11/2 Jahre nach unserem Symposion zur Ver- offentlichung gelangen
kann. Schwierigkeiten ftir die Veroffentlichung gab es ge- nug,
insbesondere wirkte es sich aus, daG der Druck in 3 Sprachen
erfolgen muGte. Den einzelnen Autoren und dem Verlag sind wir ftir
die schnelle Bearbeitung zu groGem Dank verpflichtet. Wir haben uns
bemtiht, jedem der Vortragenden die Art seiner Veroffentlichung zu
tiberlassen. So unterscheiden sich die einzelnen Beitragc
beztiglich der Ausftihr- lichkeit und der Ausstattung mit
Abbildungen. Somit tibergeben wir den Gesamtbericht tiber unser
Saarbrticker Symposion, das, wie wir es glauben mochten, wegen der
vielschichtigen und z. Z. auch hochaktuellen Thematik ein weites
Interesse fand. Wir empfinden es als eine besondere Pflicht, dem
Generalsekretariat der C.LLA. in Paris mit seinen Mitarbeitern,
speziell aber Herrn Professor de Saint Rat und Herrn Gradnauer,
ftir die groGe Mtihe, die auch sie mit dem Zustandekommen dieses
Bandes hatten, zu danken. Homburg/Saar und Budapest im Marz 1974 R.
