Collectively known as the global commons, they represent a new and profound challenge for international law and institutions.    In The Global Commons, Susan Buck considers the unique physical, legal, management, and policy problems associated with these areas. The book is a clear, useful introduction to the subject that will be of interest to general readers as well as to students in international relations, international law, and environmental law and policy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49706919002385,"sku":"GOR013769234","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853835633.jpg?v=1751028191"},{"product_id":"understanding-environmental-administration-and-law-3rd-edition-book-susan-j-buck-9781597260350","title":"Understanding Environmental Administration and Law, 3rd Edition","description":"Provides an introductory overview of environmental policy.

Federal legislation has a direct and immediate impact on state and federal bureaucrats, and citizen groups must constantly adjust to changing standards for environmental protection and regulation.  In Understanding Environmental Administration and Law, Susan J. Buck examines the use of environmental law by exploring the policy process through which such law is made, the political environment in which it is applied, and the statutory and case laws that are critical to working within the regulatory system. The book provides an analytic framework for the legal context of environmental administration and familiarizes readers with the development and implementation of the federal regulatory structure.  First published in 1991, this revised and expanded edition includes new material on:     the continuing evolution of environmentalism in the United States  federalism and bureaucratic decision making within the context of the American legal system  citizen suits, counter suits, and the increasingly restrictive perspective of the federal judiciary toward standing  the property rights movement  the impact of political changes on policy development    Unlike most books that deal with environmental law, the focus of this volume is on understanding the law as a managerial tool and fitting it into the overall policy context. Anyone involved with the environment, from students to citizen activists to mid-level managers at the federal, state, and local level, will find it enormously valuable.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50327916052753,"sku":"CIN155963474XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/155963474X.jpg?v=1751374766"},{"product_id":"global-commons-book-susan-j-buck-9781559635516","title":"The Global Commons","description":"Vast areas of valuable resources unfettered by legal rights have, for centuries, been the central target of human exploitation and appropriation. The global commons -- Antarctica, the high seas and deep seabed minerals, the atmosphere, and space -- have remained exceptions only because access has been difficult or impossible, and the technology for successful extraction has been lacking. Now, technology has caught up with desire, and management regimes are needed to guide human use of these important resource domains.  In The Global Commons, Susan Buck considers the history of human interactions with each of the global commons areas and provides a concise yet thorough account of the evolution of management regimes for each area. She explains historical underpinnings of international law, examines the stakeholders involved, and discusses current policy and problems associated with it.  Buck applies key analytical concepts drawn from institutional analysis and regime theory to examine how legal and political concerns have affected the evolution of management regimes for the global commons. She presents in-depth case studies of each of the four regimes, outlining the historical evolution of the commons -- development of interest in exploiting the resource domain; conflicts among nations over the use of the commons; and efforts to design institutions to control access to the domains and to regulate their use -- and concluding with a description of the management regime that eventually emerged from the informal and formal negotiations.  The Global Commons provides a clear, useful introduction to the subject that will be of interest to general readers as well as to students in international relations and international environmental law, and in environmental law and policy generally.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382187856145,"sku":"CIN1559635517G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51382877421841,"sku":"GOR009569609","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51752314994961,"sku":"CIN1559635517A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1559635517.jpg?v=1751341268"},{"product_id":"understanding-environmental-administration-and-law-3rd-edition-book-susan-j-buck-9781597260367","title":"Understanding Environmental Administration and Law, 3rd Edition","description":"Provides an introductory overview of environmental policy.
