Law & Governance - Beyond the Public-private Law Divide?
The Third Annual Conference of the Netherlands Institute for Law and Governance took place at Wageningen University on November 29, 2011. The conference was themed "Law & Governance - Beyond the Public-Private Law Divide?". A governance approach focuses on all institutions that pursue policy goals. During the conference, the main question discussed was what this approach means for legal research and legal practice. Is the distinction between public and private law still relevant? Can the governance approach enrich methodologies of legal research? Can this approach further new types of regulation, in which the market or civil society organizations have an important input and/or which require more technical expertise? This book examines both legal practice and legal research in order to learn from the examples of problems and approaches that fit the focus of governance. (Series: Governance & Law - Vol. 9)~

Environmental Law in the Netherlands
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to legislation and practice concerning the environment in The Netherlands. A general introduction covers geographic considerations, political, social and cultural aspects of environmental study, the sources and principles of environmental law, environmental legislation, and the role of public authorities. The main body of the book deals first with laws aimed directly at protecting the environment from pollution in specific areas such as air, water, waste, soil, noise, and radiation.

Public Environmental Law in the European Union and the United States:A Comparative Analysis
This volume presents an overview of public environmental law in the European Union and the United States of America. It focusses on constitutional and administrative environmental law but also includes other areas of law such as criminal and private law (in as far as these are relevant to the understanding of public environmental law). The book offers a comparative introduction, by editors and native authors, to the most important aspects of environmental law (prevention of pollution). It thus aspires to contribute to both 'transboundary' understanding of different regimes for Environmental Law and to a greater co-operation between different international and European partners in their strive towards more adequate (legal) modes of protection and improvement of the environment. For the purpose of the use of this book in education, research and legal practice, the contributions to the book are all based on one and the same format, thus making it more accessible for its readers. The final chapter offers comparative remarks by the editors.
Investing in Energy Justice; Modes of Legal Energy Governance, Especially of Energy Community Initiatives
This contribution departs from the question if there is right of access to sustainable energy. It places the idea of such a right in the context of the energy trilemma and sustainable development goals. With this placing comes the understanding of the right of access as a social/programmatic right, and the need to consider the different institutional legal environments in which it may be relevant and should be able to have its normative impact. In terms of the concept of energy justice (of recognition, procedure and substance), different institutional environments support different conceptualizations of justice and with that different interpretations and specifications of the right of access to sustainable energy. The contribution offers a focus on institutional governance settings regarding community energy initiatives as a mode of securing such right of access, correlating with the institutional setting in which such initiatives are regulated. This correlation connects institutional environments to justice conceptualisations, and to policy framing in terms of democratization of renewable energy provision.
Taking Back Eden
Taking Back Eden is a set of case studies of environmental lawsuits brought in eight countries around the world, including the U.S, beginning in the 1960s. The book conveys what is in fact a revolution in the field of law: ordinary citizens (and lawyers) using their standing as citizens in challenging corporate practices and government policies to change not just the way the environment is defended but the way that the public interest is recognized in law. Oliver Houck, a well-known environmental attorney, professor of law, and extraordinary storyteller, vividly depicts the places protected, as well as the litigants who pursued the cases, their strategies, and the judges and other government officials who ruled on them. This book will appeal to upperclass undergraduates, graduate students, and to all citizens interested in protecting the environment.
The Borders of the EU
This book looks at the background to the policy of free movement in Europe and discusses the consequences. European integration changed migration conditions considerably: Under the concept of "freedom of movement", border crossings between EU member states as well as work and settlement by nationals of other member states were largely facilitated; internal borders thus lost their significance. At the same time, the question of how to deal with a common external border and the migration of "third-country nationals" gained in importance. The essential explains why migration from outside Europe was increasingly understood as a problem of security policy and why this still determines the measures for designing a common external border today.
Good Governance and the European Union
This book approaches the notion of good governance from three different angles. First it establishes whether it is a meaningful notion at all by taking a closer look at the parameters of good governance. Secondly, the authors look at the institutional translation of the criteria of good governance. In a third dimension, the concept may be analysed in relation to a number of substantive issues.
