Recenzje

’This book provides a thorough, comprehensive, and well-balanced appraisal of current issues relating to the choice of regulatory institutions and instruments. It will be an invaluable guide for environmental policy analysts.’ Daniel Farber, McKnight Presidential Professor of Public law, University of Minnesota, USA ’More than any other legal field, environmental law has unceasingly reinvented itself during its brief three decades of existence. Menell captures a snapshot of this dynamic field as it enters its fourth decade, in the best concise treatment to date of how we manage the environment. The introduction surveys the broad landscape of environmental protection approaches - from regulation, market instruments and liability to information disclosure and reinvention - in an admirably clear and accessible manner, free from obscure and technical jargon. The volume’s inclusion of key articles then provides readers with a deeper, more sophisticated understanding of particular instruments - how they work, when they don’t work, and how they're evolving. The net result is a survey at once broad and sophisticated, offering insights not only into U.S. environmental law at the beginning of the 21st century, but where it’s going from here.’ James Salzman, Professor of Law, Washington College of Law, American University, USA ’This book provides a comprehensive, contextually rich and highly readable analysis of the evolution of environmental regulation and the role of new institutional approaches, and makes an important contribution to the field.’ Professor Neil Gunningham, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University.
