Delivering Energy Law and Policy in the EU and the US
From evaluating policy delivery on wind farms in Texas in the US, to developing nuclear power in the Middle East, this book presents fresh thinking on key concepts and ideas on energy law and policy delivery. Experts in energy from across the European Union and the United States contribute short chapters each on how best to achieve energy policy objectives. The contributors write from a range of perspectives, including the sciences, law, politics, economics and engineering.
Towards an Integrated Environmental Permit in China
This book examines the extent to which the regulatory design of the emissions permit system in China, taking into account the EU's regulatory experience with integration and from the perspective of the specific Chinese situation, provides opportunities for or hinders the implementation of integrated pollution prevention and control. It was found that China's permitting system provides regulatory opportunities for integrated control of emissions to air, water, and land, but that some challenges remain, particularly in terms of environmental effectiveness and environmental trade-offs. This book is not only aimed at the academic community, but may also benefit policy makers by providing an explanation of the rationale for integrated environmental permitting, together with a critical reflection on the current state of emissions permitting in China. It may also be helpful to the ENGOs that focus on and are willing to comment on the choices of regulatory instruments to be made by the Chinese government, particularly in the light of achieving a high level of environmental protection as a whole.
Managing the Risk of Offshore Oil and Gas Accidents
This book addresses the international legal dimension of the management of the risk of accidents associated with offshore oil and gas activities. It focuses on the prevention and minimization of harm as well as the post-accident management of loss through liability and compensation arrangements and the processing of mass claims for compensation. Government officials of countries with offshore industries, international civil servants and academics in related fields will find the book a valuable resource.
Global Environmental Politics
Global Environmental Politics has provided an accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased understanding of the world’s most pressing environmental issues for more than thirty years. This ninth edition continues this practice by covering critical new developments in global environmental politics and policymaking. Updated case studies on key issues such as climate change, endangered species, ozone depletion, land degradation and desertification, marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, whaling, hazardous wastes, toxic chemicals, mercury, and biodiversity detail the ongoing development of major environmental treaty regimes, and a new case study on plastic pollution showcases the chal...
Science, Technology, and New Challenges to Ocean Law
Science, Technology, and New Challenges to Ocean Law offers fresh perspectives on a set of vital issues in the field of ocean law and policy. Since the early period of the industrial revolution, successive waves of revolutionary scientific discoveries and technological innovations have intensified the global population’s exploitation of ocean and coastal resources. In this volume, several leading authorities in the field address major dimensions of the interface of science, technology and ocean law—both historically and in current-day perspective—and emergent challenges in legal ordering of ocean uses for sustainability and equitability. Among the topics that are analysed in these read...
Factor X
The editors of Factor X explore and analyze this trajectory, predicting scarcities of non-renewable materials such as metals, limited availability of ecological capacities and shortages arising from geographic concentrations of materials. They argue that what is needed is a radical change in the ways we use nature’s resources to produce goods and services and generate well-being. The goal of saving our ecosystem demands a prompt and decisive reduction of man-induced material flows. Before 2050, they assert, we must achieve a significant decrease in consumption of resources, in the line with the idea of a factor 10 reduction target. EU-wide and country specific targets must be set, and enforced using strict, accurate measurement of consumption of materials. Their arguments are drawn from empirical evidence and observations, as well as theoretical considerations based on economic modeling and on natural science.

Die neue europäische Agentur für die Zusammenarbeit der Energieregulierungsbehörden (ACER)
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,3, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (Institut für Politikwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Man möchte meinen, eine Verwaltungsinstitution werde ausschließlich geschaffen, weil man sie braucht; man möchte dabei hoffen, dass sie in einer Form geschaffen werde, die am besten der Erfüllung der ihr zugedachten Aufgabe dient. Die neue EU-Energieagentur ACER zeigt die Realität: Ihr Entstehungsprozess war neben sachlichen und technischen Überlegungen maßgeblich geprägt von Strategien zur Kompetenzerweiterung und -absicherung der beteiligten Akteure sowie zeitlichen und organisatorischen Beschränkungen. Diese Zusammenhänge werden hier unter Anwendung des akteurzentrierten Institutionalismus herausgearbeitet.
