Providing a comprehensive review of the relationship between
regulatory frameworks and free trading models, this book is aimed
at industry and legal professionals. It will also be of interest to
students studying market behaviour, free trade law and the free
movement of goods, and environmental protection.
The construction of the European Economic Communities in 1950
primarily set out to build an integrated economic zone in which
national borders were, to a large extent, overcome. The ability of
persons and goods to move freely within the economic zone was
seminal in the realisation of economic integration. Underlying
this, and therefore an implied necessity for European growth, an
effective transport infrastructure was essential. However, with
rising awareness of environmental issues, and a closer regard to
sustainability of development, European transport systems and their
regulation have come under scrutiny. This book sets out a critical
analysis of the body of law and policy initiatives that constitute
the EU's common transport policy. The development of the transport
policy is charted through amending and founding Treaties as well as
non-legislative documents. The book uses a model of sustainability
as the basis for the analysis as the criteria for sustainable
development were set out under Article Eleven of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union. However, sustainable
development, when taken in the context of transport is difficult to
reconcile with unbridled economic growth and unchecked freedom of
movement and the book identifies a contradiction at the heart of
European policy which can only become more accentuated as
environmental trends become more explicit. The book argues that
European regulation will eventually be forced to recognize this
dichotomy, and take more forceful action to protect environmental
and social development, even at the cost of economic progress. This
book will be of great interest to researchers and students on
European Union law and policy courses, transport studies courses
and European integration courses. The book is of relevance to all
those interested in environmental and transport matters.

This book undertakes a critical appraisal of the concept of
sustainable development in the European Union. In addition to
existing issues of sustainability, it examines the development of a
European "general principle" of sustainable development. This
original, critical approach examines legal, political, and economic
implications of the emergence of the principle and places the
impact of such in local, national, intranational, and international
contexts. While essentially focusing on the development of the
principle, the discussion also includes a normative assessment of
current policy and practice, and appraises European efforts in the
light of international goals.
The beginning of the new century is a crucial time for
environmental political theory. Since the first wave of
environmental texts appeared in the late 1960s and early 1970s,
environmentalism has come under a series of challenges, and has
begun a process of redeveloping itself in order to meet these
challenges. Environmental writers have shown that they can take on
questions of distributive justice, democracy, economic efficiency,
and other concerns of conventional political theory from an
environmentalist perspective. This book offers a set of important
contributions to the property theory, utopianism, justice, the
third world, and direct action. perspective.

One of the principal arguments put forth by Brexit supporters is
that by freeing the UK from the stranglehold of EU law, the country
will be able to expand its markets through increased bilateral
trade and enhance economic growth. This book tests this proposition
by reference to the car industry. Brexit and the Car Industry
explores the international position of the car market to argue that
the hope of Brexit bringing regulatory freedom is illusory. The
book starts by examining the structure of the vehicle industry, how
its regulatory framework evolved and how the environment in which
it operates is constrained by international standards and the
practicalities associated with trading across different regulatory
systems. By examining the evolution of vehicle regulations,
particularly related to the environment, it argues that a UK
independent path is not only impractical but self-defeating. The
private car market is structured in such a way that is global, and
meeting the various international regulatory requirements is a
price of entry requirement which no bilateral trade agreements are
likely to alter. The book also considers changing environment
affecting the car industry in the context of an aspiration for
regulatory freedom. The response to climate change and the impact
of technological change - specifically driverless vehicles - are
big questions for the industry and both are examined in this book.
The book also considers the emergence of large metropolitan areas
imposing their own use and environmental requirements operating
separately to national standards. The future of electric and
autonomous vehicles combined with the complexity of the regulatory
environment with both international and localised pollution
measures make the UK navigating a safe independent path through
with a viable car industry highly questionable. Providing a
comprehensive review of the relationship between regulatory
frameworks and free trading models, this book is aimed at industry
and legal professionals. It will also be of interest to students
studying market behaviour, free trade law and the free movement of
goods, and environmental protection.
