Enforcement of Environmental Law

The International Library of Law and the Environment series

Edited by Ludwig Krämer, Derecho y Medio Ambiente S.L., Spain

It is becoming ever more apparent that the enforcement of environmental law is a key problem of environmental law and policy. While the number of legal instruments at international, European and national level continues to increase, the actual enforcement of the relevant law remains insufficient, seriously impairing the effectiveness of environmental law.

‘This Research Collection by Ludwig Krämer fills a gap in the legal research related to the enforcement of environmental law. It provides a well reasoned and comprehensive collection of the existing literature on this topic, analysed from different perspectives (international, European and national) as well as covering different aspects, ranging from methodological to substantive issues. The book represents an indispensable reference point for all scholars interested in understanding the most relevant aspects and the most important lessons to be learnt related to the enforcement of environmental law.’
