Environmental Protection in Multi-Layered Systems: Comparative Lessons from the Water Sector

Erscheinungsjahr 2012
ISBN: 978-90-04-23524-3
Verlag: Brill

Buch, Englisch, Band 1, 544 Seiten, Format (B × H): 155 mm x 235 mm

Reihe: Studies in Territorial and Cultural Diversity Governance

The book describes and analyses how environmental issues are regulated in several federal, regional and unitary systems and in the European Union. The comparative analysis reveals common trends towards a multi-layered environmental governance, cross-cutting traditional distinctions among different state models.

In the second part, the case study of the management and protection of water resources is selected and analysed in the same legal systems. Disaggregating environmental protection into more specific competence fields allows trends and challenges to be tested.

The book casts light on the relationship between the state models as to the division of powers and environmental governance. It develops theoretical and practical foundations of contemporary, multi-level environmental law and challenges consolidated approaches in federal studies.

Zielgruppe

All interested in environmental law, water law, EU governance, public comparative law, comparative studies.
