This book sheds light on the latest trends in environmental law by
analyzing some of the main sectors of law, including administrative
law, constitutional law, EU law, US Law, and human rights
law. It explores the evolution of these sectors before courts and
tribunals from a US-EU perspective and from the perspectives of
some of the foremost academics and justices from the major
jurisdictions. Supranational and national courts, both in Europe
and in the US, have delivered significant environmental judgements
in recent years. The corresponding case law reflects how, in many
jurisdictions, environmental and climate litigation continues to
expand exponentially as a tool to strengthen environmental
protection, whether by pushing national governments to be more
ambitious or by enforcing existing statutes and regulations.
Courts, particularly after the Paris Agreement, are increasingly
seeking their own role as an important player in multilevel
environmental governance. Courts in both the US and EU are at the
forefront of this process and their role in shaping environmental
rule of law will be fundamental in the near future.
This book analyzes the informal practices of contemporary cities
through a close dialogue between different research perspectives,
with the shared goal of giving voice to informality and evaluating
its benefits and potential in a multidimensional key of social
factors. Recently, the human sciences have seen the emergence of
this new term “informality,” at first sight in conflict with
their function of giving order and form to social phenomena. A term
with which, in this book, the authors, having as reference the
Italian and European experience, specifically identify those
unsatisfied social demands and those collective actions “from
below” that aim at the recovery of urban space and the renewal of
its organization, often not following the trajectories of legality
and institutions. By means of a close dialogue between different
areas of social research, this book attempts to establish the
different declinations and applications of the term, evaluating the
causes and effects, benefits, and potential of the phenomena
attributable to it, within a multidimensional analysis that calls
into question the regeneration and collective use of spaces,
political-institutional confrontation and conflict, legal
innovation, and social-economic benefits.
