While climate change litigation in developed countries of the 'Global North' is a well-studied phenomenon (from its distinctive characteristics and the contribution it is making, to the implementation of international climate laws like the Paris Agreement), relatively few studies focus on climate case law emerging elsewhere. Litigating Climate Change in the Global South sheds light on emerging and accelerating climate litigation in developing countries across the three regions of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific. It is the first monograph-length work to provide a comprehensive assessment of this jurisprudence. Amid growing scholarly and policy interest in climate change litigation and its impact on international climate governance, the book examines which Global South countries are seeing climate cases, what is driving these trends, the coalitions of actors involved, and the early impacts this litigation is having on global goals of climate mitigation and adaptation.
The issue of whether transnational risk can be regulated through a social sphere goes to the heart of what John Ruggie has described as 'embedded liberalism': how capitalist countries have reconciled markets with the social community that markets require to survive and thrive. This collection, located in the wider debates about global capitalism and its regulation, tackles the challenge of finding a way forward for regulation. It rejects the old divisions of state and market, citizens and consumers, social movements and transnational corporations, as well as 'economic' and 'social' regulation. Instead this rich, multidisciplinary collection engages with a critical theme-the idea of harnessin...

Through detailed and wide-ranging analysis, the Handbook on European Union Climate Change Policy and Politics provides a critical assessment of current and emerging challenges facing the EU in committing to and delivering increasingly ambitious climate policy objectives.

The aim of this book is to present the most relevant legal constraints resulting from the implementation of the Third Energy Liberalisation Package. The research investigates legal shortfalls of new EU legislation from the day-to-day business perspective. By comparing and contrasting former and present EU rules and their implementation, it shows how the general aim of spurring on the liberalisation of the EU energy market is achievable. The book suggests de lege ferenda stipulations which may be included in the next energy market liberalisation legislation.
Environmental Integration in Competition and Free-Movement Laws engages in a comprehensive analysis of the obligation of Article 11 TFEU (integration of environmental protection requirements) in the three core areas of EU internal market law: competition, state aid, and free movement. It develops a theoretical framework for integrating environmental and other policies and compares how environmental integration takes place within competition, state aid, and free movement law. In turn, it paves a way for a more transparent and consistent integration of environment protection in these three core areas of law. Structured in three parts, this volume (I) offers a detailed analysis of the historica...
The 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe was not only a human and ecological disaster, but also a political-ideological one, severely discrediting Soviet governance and galvanizing dissidents in the Eastern Bloc. In the case of Poland, what began as isolated protests against the Soviet nuclear site grew to encompass domestic nuclear projects in general, and in the process spread across the country and attracted new segments of society. This innovative study, combining scholarly analysis with oral histories and other accounts from participants, traces the growth and development of the Polish anti-nuclear movement, showing how it exemplified the broader generational and cultural changes in the nation’s opposition movements during the waning days of the state socialist era.
Publikacja stanowi zbiór esejów – przygotowanych przez prawników praktyków i teoretyków z krajowych i zagranicznych ośrodków naukowych – dotyczących najważniejszych zagadnień współczesnego prawa ochrony klimatu. Nie ma wątpliwości, że zmiany klimatyczne są jednymi z największych wyzwań współczesności. Regulacje prawne służące ograniczeniu tych zmian i dostosowaniu się do nich zawarte są w prawie międzynarodowym, unijnym i krajowym. W książce omówiono m.in.: • związki prawa ochrony klimatu z prawami człowieka; • odpowiedzialność za przyczynianie się do zmian klimatu z perspektywy ochrony dóbr osobistych; • „budżet emisyjny” jako akt prawny s�...
"Recenzowana praca jest wartościowa, tak w sensie poznawczym, jak i praktycznym. W tym pierwszym dlatego, że podejmuje ważny problem badawczy pojęcia "pomocy państwa" ( ) w znaczeniu nadanym mu (a właściwie stale nadawanym) przez orzecznictwo sądów UE. Praca reprezentuje wysoki i aktualny poziom wiedzy na temat pojęcia pomocy państwa. W sensie praktycznym zaś dlatego, że zawiera szczegółowe analizy wszystkich najważniejszych i najnowszych orzeczeń TS i SPI, w których sądy te analizowały różne nowe instrumenty ingerencji państw członkowskich UE w działalność przedsiębiorstw energetycznych ( ). Książka w pełni zasługuje na zarekomendowanie polskiemu czytelnikowi. Powinna trafić do pracowników naukowych i studentów, głównie wydziałów prawa, ekonomii i zarządzania ( ). Zasługuje także na zainteresowanie i uwagę ze strony urzędników państwowych, sędziów oraz kadr menedżerskich przedsiębiorstw energetycznych, jak też prawników i ekonomistów świadczących usługi doradcze na rzecz władz publicznych i przedsiębiorców".
