Global Environmental Governance and the Accountability Trap
An examination of whether accountability mechanisms in global environmental governance that focus on monitoring and enforcement necessarily lead to better governance and better environmental outcomes. The rapid development of global environmental governance has been accompanied by questions of accountability. Efforts to address what has been called “a culture of unaccountability” include greater transparency, public justification for governance decisions, and the establishment of monitoring and enforcement procedures. And yet, as this volume shows, these can lead to an “accountability trap”—a focus on accountability measures rather than improved environmental outcomes. Through anal...
The Protection of the environment through criminal Law
Continuing the AIDP’s tradition in examining how to improve the protection of the environment through criminal law, this volume addresses various challenges and scientific concerns in relation to environmental crime. It touches upon a range of topics, from biodiversity to corporate criminal liability to jurisdictional or prosecutorial problems, and explores multiple national and regional enforcement systems, drawing from best practices. It brings together key proceedings of the Second AIDP World Conference on the Protection of the Environment through Criminal Law (Bucharest, May 18-20, 2016) organised by the International Association of Penal Law (AIDP) in collaboration with the Romanian Association of Penal Sciences, the Legal Research Institute of the Romanian Academy of Sciences and the Ecological University of Bucharest.
Regulatory Cooperation Under TTIP - A Risk for Democracy and National Regulation?
This study conducted by Ecologic Institute with support from the Heinrich Boell Foundation aims at providing factual background to the debate on regulatory cooperation within the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The study looks at whether fears are justified that regulatory cooperation could lead to lower levels of protection in the EU and the US and parliamentary processes being bypassed. In the discussions about the ongoing TTIP negotiations between the EU and the US, one of the central topics and a subject of great concern is regulatory cooperation. Regulatory cooperation is supposed to bring gains in efficiency and thus economic benefits. At the same time, the prosp...
European Union External Environmental Policy
This book considers the environmental policies that the EU employs outside its borders. Using a systematic and coherent approach to cover a range of EU activities, environmental issues, and geographical areas, it charts the EU’s attempts to shape environmental governance beyond its borders. Key questions addressed include: What environmental norms, rules and policies does the EU seek to promote outside its territory? What types of activities does the EU engage in to pursue these objectives? How successful is the EU in achieving its external environmental policy objectives? What factors explain the degree to which the EU attains its goals? The book will be of interest to students and academics as well as practitioners in governments (both inside and outside of the EU), the EU institutions, think tanks, and research institutes.

Mord im Kreuzviertel
Ein finsteres Geheimnis aus einer anderen Zeit Als der Münsteraner Lyriker Karl Wagner die ehemaligen Mitbewohner aus Studienzeiten anlässlich seines 70. Geburtstags zu sich nach Hause einlädt, freut sich Vera Langenkämper, die Tante von Kommissarin Katharina Klein, sehr. Die pensionierte Richterin kehrt in jenes Haus im Kreuzviertel zurück, in dem sie vor fünfzig Jahren in einer Wohngemeinschaft lebte. Doch was als unbeschwerte Zeitreise in die frühen Siebzigerjahre beginnt, nimmt schon bald eine erschütternde Wendung. Nach einer grausigen Entdeckung im Keller des alten Hauses scheinen sich verstörende Vorfälle aus der Vergangenheit zu wiederholen – das Wiedersehen der damaligen WG-Mitglieder droht aus dem Ruder zu laufen. Es kostet Katharina und ihre Kollegin Eva Mertens große Mühe, das Geflecht von ungelösten Fragen zu entwirren und Licht in die Dunkelheit des Vergangenen zu bringen.
