This 2007 book examines environmental law from a range of perspectives, emphasising the policy world from which environmental law is drawn and nourished.

A range of regulatory techniques is explored in this book, through a...

This book explores the relationship between law and geography, particularly in relation to globalisation - of law, commerce, environmental change and society - which renders relations between the local and the global more significant. The book is structured according to conceptual frames - boundaries, land, property, nature, identity (persons, peoples and places), culture and time, and knowledge.

First published in 1999, this volume is concerned with how issues of identity and locality - globalization and ethics, valuing the environment, environmental justice and the use of traditional and new legal forms - cross the disciplines of law, ethics, geography, political science and social theory. Necessarily diverse, the collection both explores and confronts the limitations of law that prevent recognition of the relationship between humans and nature.
