EU Environmental Law: Challenges, Change and Decision-making
 |
| Vai alla copia |
Contemporary environmental regulation is
facing significant challenges. These challenges are varied, and include the
search for economic efficiency, popular mistrust of experts and frequent
observation of poor practical results. At EU level, criticisms of regulatory
activity are compounded by the significant questions that surround the
legitimacy of certain EU institutions and processes. This book examines a range
of substantive EU environmental law and policy, and considers far-reaching
endeavours to improve environmental regulation. One striking feature of
contemporary EU environmental law is its wholehearted preoccupation with the
structure of decision-making. This development, and some of the serious tensions
that arise in the legal conditions for decision-making, form a major theme of
this book.
