Environmental Law Principles: From Political Slogans to Legal Rules, 2nd Edition traces how environmental principles evolved from political slogans into enforceable legal doctrines. Nicolas de Sadeleer investigates how modern legal frameworks address the ecological hazards generated by industrial society.
The volume centers on three directing principles of modern environmental law: the polluter pays principle, the preventive principle, and the precautionary principle. It shows how these concepts have become embedded across domestic and international legal systems.
Designed for researchers, legal professionals, the judiciary, and law students, this edition provides a thorough understanding of how these directing standards operate in contemporary legal practice.
