This book examines environmental law from a range of perspectives, emphasising the policy world from which environmental law is drawn and nourished.
A range of regulatory techniques is explored in this book, through a close examination of both pollution control and land use. The highly complex nature of current environmental problems, demanding sophisticated and responsive legal controls, is illustrated by several in-depth case studies, including legal and policy analysis of the highly contested issues of genetically modified organisms and renewable energy projects.

Empirical Findings and Legal Appraisal
This book, the sixth in the series, is based on the findings of a research study on Access to Justice in Environmental Matters that the European Commission commissioned in 2002 in order to provide input on the preparation of a proposal for a Directive on access to justice. In particular, the book assesses recent developments and the current situation concerning NGO access to justice in environmental matters in certain member states, and in particular to obtain empirical data on the number of cases brought by environmental associations.
