Transboundary Environmental Governance
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-4094-4493-0 (ISBN)
Effective protection of the marine and terrestrial environment increasingly requires cooperation between neighbouring States, international organizations, government entities and communities within States. This book analyses key aspects of transboundary environmental law and policy and their implementation in Asia, Australasia and Australian offshore territories, and surrounding areas beyond national jurisdiction including Antarctica. It discusses the potential for implementing key transboundary environmental mechanisms such as the 1991 Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention) and its 1997 Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment (Kiev Protocol) in Australia and Asia drawing on experience from other regions and the potential application of these agreements to all UN member states. The book makes an innovative contribution to research in the area of transboundary environmental governance particularly as it applies to Asia, Australasia and international areas, supplementing similar research which has predominantly focused on Europe and North America.
Dr Robin Warner is an Associate Professor at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security, University of Wollongong. Her current research interests include law of the sea, oceans governance, marine environmental law, climate law and transnational criminal law. She is the author of Protecting the Oceans Beyond National Jurisdiction: Strengthening the International Law Framework (Martinus Nijhoff, Leiden, 2009) and editor (with Clive Schofield) of Climate Change and the Oceans: Gauging the Legal and Policy Currents in the Asia Pacific (Edward Elgar, UK, 2012) as well as many book chapters and journal articles on oceans law and policy.

Dr Simon Marsden is an Associate Professor at the Law School, Flinders University, formerly also an Associate Professor at the Law Faculty, Chinese University of Hong Kong. His general research interests are in environmental law and policy, environmental planning and management, and the relationship between legal systems and law and politics. These relate to domestic law (Australia, UK, Hong Kong in particular), and international and European law. Specific research interests focus on strategic and transboundary approaches to EIA, terrestrial and marine protected areas, public participation and access to justice, and treaty based non-compliance procedures. As well as many articles and chapters, he is the author or co-editor of three books: Transboundary Environmental Impact Assessment in the European Union, London, Earthscan, 2011(with Koivurova); Strategic Environmental Assessment in International & European Law, London, Earthscan. 2008; and Strategic Environmental Assessment in Australasia, Sydney, Federation Press, 2002 (with Dovers).
