Download or read book Dictionary of Environmental Law written by Alan Gilpin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'There is no shortage of recent dictionaries covering environmental law on reference shelves. What distinguishes this titles is its inclusive coverage of the international scene. For example, where all environmental law dictionaries have an entry for acid rain, Gilpin's Dictionary informs the reader about acid rain problems in Sweden, Norway, Germany and The Netherlands in addition to the United States and Canada. This Dictionary is useful, with balanced coverage of environmental issues throughout the world. . . due to its global inclusiveness and clear, nontechnical language, this dictionary should prove very useful on shelves of all types of libraries and for environmental, political, and legal practitioners.' – Georgia Briscoe, American Reference Books Annual 2002 'Gilpin addresses the elements of environmental law with an indispensable survey of the subject. . . . The strength of this dictionary lies in its international coverage. . . . Language is nontechnical and easily accessible to general readers. . . . Gilpin is recommended for those libraries and individuals interested in international environmental law.' – S.R. Moore, Choice 'I thought Gilpin's work was excellent. The coverage was thorough and extremely helpful without getting overly bogged down in unnecessary details. I also felt that there was a very useful balance between national coverage (as of European Union and United States statutes, concepts and cases) and international agreements. I am certain that scholars, political decision makers, legal practitioners, environmental activists and reference libraries will want to have Gilpin handy. It may well become an indispensable reference work in environmental law and policy.' – Thomas S. Ulen, University of Illinois, US This new dictionary makes an important and innovative contribution to the reference literature on the environment. International in scope, it provides up-to-date entries on macro and micro issues in environmental law in both developed and developing countries. Written by an author with both practical experience in the field, and six previous dictionaries to his name, this book adopts non-technical language to improve access to key topics in environmental law. It combines the use of case studies, best practice models, straightforward definitions and clear explanatory boxes. This dictionary will be invaluable to everyone involved with environmental law; including students of law as well as those in engineering and the social sciences. It will also provide essential reference for all official national and international agencies, environmental protection groups and NGOs, plus environment and planning departments at every level.

Download or read book Environment and Statecraft The Strategy of Environmental Treaty Making written by Scott Barrett and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-01-09 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems like global climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion can only be remedied if states cooperate with one another. But sovereign states usually care only about their own interests. So states must somehow restructure the incentives to make cooperation pay. This is what treaties are meant to do. A few treaties, such as the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, succeed. Most, however, fail to alter the state behaviour appreciably. This book develops a theory that explains both the successes and the failures. In particular, the book explains when treaties are needed, why some work better than others, and how treaty design can be improved. The best treaties strategically manipulate the incentives states have to exploit the environment, and the theory developed in this book shows how treaties can do this. The theory integrates a number of disciplines, including economics, political science, international law, negotiation analysis, and game theory. It also offers a coherent and consistent approach. The essential assumption is that treaties be self-enforcing-that is, individually rational, collectively rational, and fair. The book applies the theory to a number of environmental problems. It provides information on more than three hundred treaties, and analyses a number of case studies in detail. These include depletion of the ozone layer, whaling, pollution of the Rhine, acid rain, over-fishing, pollution of the oceans, and global climate change. The essential lesson of the book is that treaties should not just tell countries what to do. Treaties must make it in the interests of countries to behave differently. That is, they must restructure the underlying game. Most importantly, they must create incentives for states to participate in a treaty and for parties to comply.
Download or read book The Indonesian Law of Treaties 1945 1990 written by Sik Ko Swan and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive collection of data on the treaty law of Indonesia which has its origin in the assumption that the availability of these data is among the preconditions for a correct understanding of the Indonesian international position and its international rights and duties. There is no official collection of Indonesian treaties in existence. Part One presents a concise description of the Indonesian law and practice concerNing treaty-making power and the publication of treaties. It deals with the constitutional provisions and their interpretation and application and places them in a wider perspective. Part Two comprises chronological indexes of multilateral and bilateral treaties. These indexes contain data on forty items, where available, regarding each treaty, such as the sources of the texts, the subject matter, the Indonesian consent to be bound, Indonesian reservations and declarations, the date of ratification, amendments, revisions and replacement. These main indexes are supplemented by a subject index and indexes of Acts of Approval and Presidential Ratification Decrees which are published in the Indonesian State Gazette. The volume will be of use to practising lawyers involved in Indonesian transactions, officials in the field of international relations involving Indonesia and academic researchers on the international law of treaties.

The team of authors comes from tertiary institutions within and outside Hong Kong, and they all have been studying the territory for many years. The authors focus on the plans of the Chinese authorities and the expectations of Hong Kong people. The gap between the two and the associated difficulties are then analysed. The authors also examine the possibilities of crises emerging, as well as the contingency plans formulated to deal with them.
