Earthscan is pleased to announce that review copies are now available for the following new books which investigate important issues in natural resource management.
Transborder Governance of Forests, Rivers and Seas
Edited by Wil de Jong, Denyse Snelder and Noboru Ishikawa
Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities. This book illustrates the diversity of transborder natural resources, the pressures that they experience or the opportunities that exist for multinational regulatory regimes, monitoring and enforcement.
Environmental Governance Past and Present
By Christopher P. Rodgers, Eleanor A. Straughton, Angus J.L. Winchester and Margherita Pieraccini
The common land of England and Wales is an important resource with multiple, and often conflicting, uses. It provides some of the most ecologically sensitive environments and landscapes, is an important agricultural resource and provides public access to the countryside for recreation. Much common land is degraded and is subject to competing interests: farming, intense recreational use and conservation. This unique book brings together original historical investigations from four centuries and contemporary legal scholarship to examine the environmental governance of common land from an interdisciplinary perspective.
