Established in 1990, the Yearbook of International Environmental Law has fast established itself as a vital source of information and analysis in an increasingly important legal field. For Volume 8 there are two new general editors - Jutta Brunnee (University of British Columbia, Canada) and Ellen Hey (Erasmus University, Netherlands) - adding to the Yearbook's very 'international' feel.;The contributors for this volume are drawn from experts across the world who, together with the new expert team of editors, have created the best source of information on world-wide events in this field. The article section contains top-quality essays on topical subjects; the year-in-review section offers a round-up of legal developments in every part of the world. There is also a Bibliography and a newly reinstated book review section.
