Download or read book Towards Continental Environmental Policy written by Owen Temby and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the challenges of environmental governance in contemporary North America. What are the most important transnational governance arrangements for environmental policy in North America? Has their proliferation facilitated a transition towards integrated continental environmental policy, and if so, to what degree is this integration irreversible? These governance arrangements are diverse and evolving, consisting of binational and trinational organizations created decades ago by treaties and groups of stakeholderswith varying degrees of formalizationwho work together to address issues that no single country can alone. Together they provide leadership in numerous areas of environmental concern, including invasive species, energy efficiency, water, and terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. This book explores these arrangements, examining features such as stakeholder inclusion, organizational activities and functions, and issue comprehensiveness. Overall, the contributors report an underdeveloped policy architecture consisting of fragmented regional transnational networks of stakeholders and underfunded binational and trinational organizations. They also show evidence of substantial policy entrepreneurship and a vibrant informal underbelly to North American environmental governance, which will be vital in the challenging days ahead.
Download or read book Arbitration in Mexico written by Gloria M. Alvarez and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico has played a major role in shaping the growth and development of international arbitration practice, in great part due to its global prominence at the competitive forefront of manufacturing, agriculture, telecommunications, finance, real estate, tourism, trade, and commercial transactions, all while crafting its own policies to achieve the energy transition. In addition, its close ties with the United States and Canada, as well as its important business relations with the rest of the world, have made Mexico a leading subject of investment treaty practice. This book, the most comprehensive English book on the subject, offers a thorough practical analysis of arbitration in Mexico in a variety of specific fields as well in-depth description and analysis of the role and attitude of national courts towards arbitration and of national, regional, and international arbitration institutions. Written by the leading lights of Mexican arbitration practice and scholarship, the contributions clearly and succinctly disentangle complex but common issues arising in commercial and investment treaty disputes. Features of Mexico’s dynamic body of arbitration law and practice covered include the following: legal framework in which arbitration in Mexico operates; characterization of international arbitration principles by Mexican courts; cases which require decisions by a national court or authority; public policy and arbitrability; authority and duties of the arbitral tribunal; document production in the Mexican arbitration practice; judicial intervention in support of international arbitration; state entities as actors in arbitration disputes; hydrocarbons, power and M&A disputes; use of technology in arbitral proceedings; and quantum and damages. This first comprehensive book in English on arbitration law and practice in Mexico provides an in-depth understanding of all of Mexico’s arbitration law and practice nationwide, practical guidance on identifying and assessing the different theoretical and practical legal avenues available, and relevant usages of ADR mechanisms in commercial disputes. It will prove of immeasurable value for arbitrators, judges, in-house counsel, Mexican state-owned companies, global law firms, large- and medium-sized companies doing transnational business, policymakers, and arbitration academics.
