There has been an exponential growth in international environmental
treaty-making over the past fifty years, to the point of 'treaty
congestion' - with a total of more than 1,300 multilateral (global
and regional) agreements on the topic and close to 3,000 bilateral
ones currently in force. This research review addresses this
phenomenon from a variety of disciplinary perspectives:
international law, political science, and 'ecological economics'.
The objective is comparative analysis, with a view to identifying
common features and common problems of transnational environmental
regimes, in light of their historical evolution, their application
and effectiveness in practice, and possible lessons learned in
their institutional 'interplay' with each other.
The first in an exciting new series on international environmental
law, this incisive collection of 18 seminal essays traces the
evolution of the subject from its early beginnings, through the
formative years of the Stockholm and Rio de Janeiro UN Conferences
to the contemporary 'post-modern' era. The articles selected
provide an overview of the legal discourse that shaped the
emergence of this discipline. They also illustrate how
international environmental law - in a multitude of treaties,
jurisprudence of courts and tribunals, and a growing body of
recognized customary principles - has not only come to govern the
management of our planet's common natural resources, but has had a
profound impact on the general theory and practice of international
law. The History and Origin of International Environmental Law will
be of lasting interest to scholars and students in the history of
international relations and political science, and offers valuable
lessons for future governance of the global environment. 18
articles, dating from 1915 to 2011 Contributors include: P.W.
