It is designed to foster critical thinking about the subject as a whole and the precise details of particular “real world” problems. The problem-centered nature of the text encourages readers to discern issues and to reflect on the application of a wide range of pertinent materials. It hones the skills of analysis and synthesis in a way that rote learning of doctrine cannot.
The authors include a wide range of documents and readings from diverse disciplines that interact with formal legal materials to form a web of intertwined and related ideas and events. Problems and materials have been designed to enable students to master the historical development, legal doctrine, contemporary problems and institutional structures that affect the protection, conservation, and sustainable development of the shared global environment.
International Environmental Law: Cases, Materials, and Problems comprises two complementary sections. Part One provides a basic analytical framework that readers will need in order to work through any particular international environmental problem. Part Two focuses on challenges for law in international environmental protection using a variety of contemporary problems involving pollution, climate change, the marine environment, polar regions, biological diversity, fresh water sources, and synergies between international trade and the environment. |
