Edited by Lee Paddock, Distinguished Professorial Lecturer in Environmental Law, The George Washington University Law School and Managing Director, International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement, Environmental Law Institute, Robert L. Glicksman, The George Washington University Law School and Nicholas S. Bryner, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law, US<i>'The topic of ''Decision Making in Environmental Law'' encompasses a vast and complex milieu of regulation, legal principles, administrative procedures and discretion. The subject matter plays out in multiple legal dimensions, including legislation and common law, private and public law, and international, federal and domestic law. Paddock, Glicksman and Bryner have brought together a veritable ''Who's Who'' of leading environmental scholars to produce an excellent collection of chapters that bring order to, and provide incisive analysis of, the multi-dimensional legal landscape of modern environmental decision-making. This volume should be the first point of reference for scholars, students, members of the judiciary and regulators with an interest in the topic.'</i>

Environmental issues are at the heart of some of the most complex and consequential decisions that society must face in pursuit of a more sustainable future. They encompass the international, national, and local levels and engage all branches of government. Decision Making in Environmental Law, one of the constituent volumes in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law, brings together some of the leading experts in the field and provides a structured overview of the various dimensions of decision making from an environmental law perspective.
The concise and accessible chapters provide an international scope and detailed bibliographies that allow readers to explore issues in depth. Topics include: the role of treaties, common law tools, rulemaking, access to information, regulatory structures, market-based and trading mechanisms, monitoring and reporting, voluntary programs and private regulation, environmental impact analysis, public engagement and environmental justice, administrative and judicial review, and the role of environmental courts and tribunals.
This volume offers a complete exploration of the complicated issue of environmental decision making. It is ideal as an introduction for students, as a reference point for scholars, and as a comprehensive guide for practitioners.
