Review Quotes:
"This book presents a thoughtful and deeply researched account of how international environmental law can achieve the transformation that the global environment demands. Its recommendations highlight that internalising international environmental law goes far beyond the state, and indeed ultimately requires participation and cooperation on the local level."
