'Environmental Protection, Law and Policy' explores environmental law from a range of perspectives, emphasising the policy world from which the law is drawn. A full understanding of environmental problems requires students, practitioners, and academics working within the discipline of environmental law to engage with the concepts and methods employed by disciplines other than law. This book explores environmental law from a range of perspectives, emphasising the policy world from which the law is drawn. It seeks to introduce students to a wide range of non-legal material, whilst placing that material firmly in a legal context. The highly complex nature of current environmental problems, demanding sophisticated and responsive legal controls, is illustrated by several in-depth case studies, including legal and policy analyses of the highly contested issues of genetically modified organisms and renewable energy projects.
