Yearbook of International Environmental Law, Volume 8, 1997

About this book

Established in 1990, the Yearbook of International Environmental Law has fast established itself as a vital source of information and analysis in an increasingly important legal field. For Volume 8 there are two new general editors - Jutta Brunnee (University of British Columbia, Canada) and Ellen Hey (Erasmus University, Netherlands) - adding to the Yearbook's very 'international' feel. The contributors for this volume are drawn from experts across the world who, together with the new expert team of editors, have created the best source of information on world-wide events in this field. The article section contains top-quality essays on topical subjects; the year-in-review section offers a round-up of legal developments in every part of the world. There is also a Bibliography and a newly reinstated book review section.
