"Describes the basic rules governing the environment in the jurisdictions of the 15-member states of the Caribbean Community with a particular emphasis on those in the British Commonwealth. This one-of-a-kind coursebook explores relationships between the environment and traditional legal subjects, such as international and constitutional law, contracts, torts, and trusts; and undertakes a detailed examination of such specific topics as town and country planning, environmental impact assessments, pollution regulation, management of wastes, protection of endangered species and habitats, and coastal zone management. Justice Anderson provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between international trade and environmental protection. He also demonstrates how international law is the primary driver of domestic regulation and illustrates its influence on municipal law. This book reflects the policy aspirations of the Caribbean people toward the environment"--Page [4] of cover.
This second edition of Philippe Sand's leading textbook on international environmental law provides a clear and authoritative introduction to the subject, revised to December 2002. It considers relevant new topics, including the Kyoto Protocol, genetically modified organisms, oil pollution, chemicals etc. and will remain the most comprehensive account of the principles and rules relating to environmental protection and the conservation of natural resources.

Commonwealth Caribbean Business Law breaks away from the traditional English approach of treating business law primarily as the law of contract and agency. The book takes a panoramic view of the foundation of various legal systems with a subsequent examination of different areas of legal liability that may affect business activities. These areas include contract law, agency, tort law, criminal law, and internet law as significant challenges confronting the business sector. The book primarily targets the development of business law in several Caribbean Commonwealth jurisdictions but also, where appropriate, embraces the jurisprudence of other Commonwealth nations such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. With respect to internet law, the proliferation of judicial pronouncements emerging from the United States provided the platform for the only non-Commonwealth treatment of a topic. The approach of the book is to use excerpts from judgments so as to allow students, particularly the non-legal student, to understand legal principles as espoused by the judiciary without the filtering bias of authors.
A concise, clear, and legally rigorous introduction to international environmental law and practice covering the very latest developments.
Cross-border Water Trade: Legal and Interdisciplinary Perspectives is a critical assessment of one of the growing problems faced by the international community — the global water deficit. Cross-border water trade is a solution that generates ethical and economic but also legal challenges. Economic, humanitarian and environmental approaches each highlight different and sometimes conflicting aspects of the international commercialization of water. Finding an equilibrium for all the dimensions required an interdisciplinary path incorporating certain perspectives of natural law. The significance of such theoretical underpinnings is not merely academic but also quite practical, with concrete consequences for the legal status of water and its fitness for international trade.
"This book is about the Law of the Sea in the Caribbean and the contribution of that law to economic development in the region. The most important legal instrument for that discussion is undoubtedly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which entered into force on 16 November 1994, some twelve years after it was adopted in December 1982, and following more than nine years of negotiations, which began in 1973"--
