Cases of Conflict: Transboundary Disputes and the Development of International Environmental Law

The focus on recent environmental disputes, and in particular on the role (in broader context) of legal principles and legal dispute-resolution proceedings, provides a novel perspective. The writing and clarity of argumentation are strong, combining the smooth polish of high-quality journalism with a well-articulated, substantive line of argument. Edward A. Parson, University of California, Los Angeles

The case studies are complete and well researched, but are also very accessible to the first-time reader—a rare combination. This is an excellent book for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for anyone who wants to understand the issues involved in the evolution of transboundary environmental dispute settlement as the core of international environmental law.
