Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
This incisive book examines cutting edge issues in environmental compliance and enforcement law. It highlights critical research needs in the field, and explains how their realisation would enhance the efforts of governments, citizens and regulated entities in ensuring compliance and enforcement.
Taking a comprehensive view of the field, expert authors address research questions beginning with detection of environmental harms and continuing through to judicial resolution. Chapters focus on key areas of research, including the structure of environmental enforcement programs, the role of behaviour in compliance, measuring outcomes, inspections and auditing, monitoring, emerging regulatory technologies, citizen law suits, as well as judicial remedies and sanctions. The book also analyzes the challenges of environmental enforcement in countries with limited enforcement resources through case studies involving Columbia and Peru, and the growing role of the private sector in environmental compliance.
With a spotlight on enhancing ecofriendly outcomes, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and students in environmental law, as well as criminal law and justice. It is also beneficial to environmental agency staff interested in identifying ways to improve their practices, and those involved in environmental research projects.
