The third edition of this classic textbook offers comprehensive and
critical commentary on international environmental law. It fully covers
the key topics of the course and is clearly structured to include the
history and framework in which international environmental law exists,
key areas of regulation and implementation, links to other areas of law
and future developments. It has been updated to incorporate all the
latest developments in treaty and case law. Extensive feedback on
previous editions results in a restructuring of material, including a
new part focused on linkage to other areas of international law
including human rights, international trade and foreign investment.
There is also a new chapter on future developments charting the
directions in which the subject is moving. Specialist authors writing on
oceans, seas and fisheries and biodiversity add to the expertise of the
two principal authors for an authoritative overview of the subject.
