Brownfields Policies For Sustainable Cities, Joel B. Eisen Jan 1999

Brownfields Policies For Sustainable Cities, Joel B. Eisen

Law Faculty Publications

My analysis begins in Part I with a short summary of brownfields law and policy, and a description of our current understanding of "sustainable development." There is no hard and fast definition of the term, but it is increasingly more clear that a body of sustainable development "law" will take shape as the product of a host of decisions made now and in the near future.

Man Or Beast: The Convention On Biological Diversity And The Emerging Law Of Sustainable Development, W. Robert Ward Jan 1995

Man Or Beast: The Convention On Biological Diversity And The Emerging Law Of Sustainable Development, W. Robert Ward

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Mr. Ward explores the legal nature of the Convention on Biological Diversity by examining patterns in the development of international law. He considers two categories of global agreements: (1) novel issues agreements and (2) general principles agreements. The article defines these two types of agreements and then considers whether the Convention addresses a novel issue in conservation law. Mr. Ward argues that the Convention is instead a general principles agreement that marks a new development in international law. The article concludes by exploring how the Convention may influence the further evolution of the law of sustainable development.
