The Human Right to Water: Justice . . . or Sham?
Water is a matter of life and death. Advanced technology and engineering enable humans to gain better access to it. Nonetheless, the conditions and effort required to reach this goal remain colossal in many countries. Building a lasting infrastructure for adequate treatment before and after use is costly. Therefore, the author believes that a radical change of thinking among people around the world, from the domestic to the large-scale users, becomes a priority. Even if the United Nations entitles all people to justice for water, more responsible and ethical use of it by all interested parties is more important than the spreading of promises, which, in practice, may turn out to be a sham. Only a better understanding that access to water rests on the efforts of everyone, without exception, will reduce overuse, waste, and pollution of the indispensable resource. This volume, while written from a theological, philosophical, and legal perspective (focusing on John Calvin, John Rawls, and Paul Ricoeur), demonstrates that water cannot be merely understood as a human right, but also has to be dealt with from an economic point of view as well as under the authority of the Golden Rule.

Environmental Law and Economics
This anthology discusses important issues surrounding environmental law and economics and provides an in-depth analysis of its use in legislation, regulation and legal adjudication from a neoclassical and behavioural law and economics perspective. Environmental issues raise a vast range of legal questions: to what extent is it justifiable to rely on markets and continued technological innovation, especially as it relates to present exploitation of scarce resources? Or is it necessary for the state to intervene? Regulatory instruments are available to create and maintain a more sustainable society: command and control regulations, restraints, Pigovian taxes, emission certificates, nudging pol...
水伦理：原则与准则 Water Ethics
对于众多政策制定者、城市管理者、水务专家、技术人员或者 活动家而言，水管理的伦理视角并不重要，或者说没有任何附 加价值。两方阵营的一场争论似乎僵持不下，一方主要强调所 有人的用水权，而另一方认为不能超越现实的经济情况。某种 资源的可持续利用，在开采、分配和回收利用方面面临越来越 大的压力，这些方面虽然说不上是一个技术官僚问题，但却像 是一个技术性问题。 本合著著作提出了不同的观点。用水以及资源的可持续利用的 许多问题取决于开诚布公的谈判，解决冲突和关税结构，同时 扩大水的交付和公平管理水的稀缺问题。在所有这些过程之 中，伦理价值至关重要。
Research Handbook on Freshwater Law and International Relations
Recent decades have seen pivotal changes in the management and protection of water resources, with human rights, environmental and water law each developing a strong interest in the conservation of fresh water. This surge in interest has meant that dispute settlement mechanisms, along with diplomatic tools, are becoming increasingly necessary for conflict resolution. This Handbook offers an analysis of the interaction between law and various forms of knowledge and expertise, ranging from economics to environmental and social sciences. Leading scholars examine general and specific water legal regimes and analyse the interplay between various disciplines in order to establish the extent to which law is informed by each.
