This book presents a variety of articles on contemporary issues in
environmental law by eminent university professors of environmental
law, international public law, European Union law, and comparative
law in Europe and Japan. It is the first book in the field of
environmental law based on the results of international conferences
and research activities supported by the European Union delegation
in Japan. Current essential and global topics such as principles of
environmental law, climate change, biodiversity, ethics pertaining
to animal rights , nuclear safety regime after Fukushima,
environmental impact assessments, protecting international waters,
genetically-modified organisms, and implementing international
instruments, and EU rules at the national level are discussed in
light of the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon and other recent international
treaties, by comparing the approaches taken by the EU, European
countries, and Japan. As environmental law is not just a national
issue but also a global one, it is important to understand and
analyse various aspects of current environmental issues. This book
is a response to such needs, and represents the joint work of five
Japanese and four European (two German and two Italian) professors
who have succeeded in creating something that is both unique and
remarkable.

This book analyzes issues in human rights law from a variety of
perspectives by eminent European and Asian professors of
constitutional law, international public law, and European Union
law. As a result, their contributions collected here illustrate the
phenomenon of cross-fertilization not only in Europe (the EU and
its member states and the Council of Europe), but also between
Europe and Asia. Furthermore, it reveals the influence that
national and foreign law, EU law and the European Convention on
Human Rights, and European and Asian law exert over one another.
The various chapters cover general fundamental rights and human
rights issues in Europe and Asia as well as specific topics
regarding the principles of nondiscrimination, women's rights, the
right to freedom of speech in Japan, and China's Development Banks
in Asia. Protection of human rights should be guaranteed in the
international community, and research based on a comparative law
approach is useful for the protection of human rights at a higher
level. As the product of academic cooperation between ten
professors of Japanese, Taiwanese, German, Italian, and Belgian
nationalities, this work responds to such needs.
