This collection of essays adopts a distinctive approach to environmental legal issues. The contributors represent a variety of specialisations, ranging from public law to international law and international relations. Some essays are written from within a UK domestic law perspective, but others adopt a broadly comparative, supra-national or international approach.

The contributors do not assume that problems and solutions in 'environmental law' should be perceived as wholly distinct from the preoccupations of existing legal specialisms. New and proposed legal responses inevitably build on or employ established legal techniques, rather than starting completely afresh. The contributors do however, regard environmental problems as posing or at least illuminating significant challenges to received patterns of legal thought. In the light of this, the contributors therefore investigate aspects of law's influnce in environmental decision-making, and consider whether legal institutions and forms of thought can respond adequately to the challenge of environmental change.

Reviews for Law in Environmental Decision-Making: National, European, and International Perspectives

it is a book which provides an example of the way forward - a positive step in the right direction for environmental law ... a book that is wide-ranging in its scope but which at the same time offers some valuable discussion of the significant key issues which are raised in these assorted jurisdictions and varied legal areas ... this book provides a valuable contribution to the progress towards a more mature approach to enviromental law, as well as a collection that sign posts the way for other environmental lawyers. Fiona Donson, Law Quarterly Review, Oct 1999 each essay is of high quality and fluently written Peter Kunzlik, The Cambridge Law Journal, 1999 a book which, for some time to come, will be required reading for anu academic lawyer wishing to make sense of the environment. Chris Miller, University of Salford, Jrnl of Environmental Law, vol 11, no 1, 1999
