Environmental Regulation Author By John Mceldowney Sharron Mceldowney

Featuring an original introduction by the editors this important collection of essays explores the main issues surrounding the regulation of the environment. The expert contributors illustrate that regulating the environment in the UK is conceptually complex involves a diverse range of institutions techniques and methodologies and crosses geographical and national boundaries. In the USA it is more formalised juridical adversarial and formally dependent upon legal rules. The articles highlight the fact that despite differences in the UK and the USA s regulatory styles environmental regulation today has much in common with both traditions.Product description Review 'As editors of this wide-ranging and insightful volume Professor John McEldowney and Sharron McEldowney have compiled an important collection of essays and leaned articles gleaned mainly from a selection of influential and authoritative academic journals from both sides of the Atlantic and worldwide as well. . . As part of the Elgar Research Collection this is definitely a book for academics and scholars as well as environmental lawyers who will appreciate its comparative law orientation and emphasis. Also to be appreciated by researchers is the copious footnoting throughout which contains a wealth of reference sources. In all the book is a valuable and richly resourced contribution to the literature of environmental law.' -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor The Barrister Magazine About the Author Edited by John McEldowney Professor of Law University of Warwick UK and Sharron McEldowney Emeritus Fellow formerly University of Westminster UK
