Series: Oxford Readings in Socio-Legal Studies

Recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in the environment and in environmental law, trends which have been reflected in academic work. This reader considers a cross-section of socio-legal work on environmental law, tracing its development over the past twenty years. It includes work from a variety of disciplines, theoretical perspectives and from an international scholarship. It aims to give a taste of the breadth and development of socio-legal approaches to one of the most important regulatory regimes in the western industrialised world

the regulation of the environment. The readings encompass various legal approaches to environmental protection, alternatives to the law, and both domestic and supra-national issues. They also consider broader themes such as the interaction of law and science and the effects of criminalizing environmental offences, and indicate areas which future research could usefully address.

Reviews for A Reader in Environmental Law

Breadth of approach is reflected in the selection of the material... a series of readings which represent the development over 20 years or so of socio-legal analysis of environmental law - this itself being persuasively portrayed by Dr. Hutter in her introductory essay on the issue... this offering from Oxford University Press is a timely and useful bringing together of major socio-legal statements on the law. It deserves its place on academic bokshelves - and certainly on those of postgraduate students keen to broaden their initial doctrinal understanding of the law. David J. Hughes, Environmental Law Review
