Examining the relationship between law, environmental governance and the regulation of decision-making, this volume, both reflective and contextual in approach, uses a wide range of theories to explore the key features of modern environmental assessment.

"...this collection can be warmly welcomed as an important contribution to the ongoing analysis of the EA process. It is refreshing in that it includes but also departs from a narrow legal analysis of legal framework and draws considerably on the reflections of those experienced in the daily business of policy development." - Sharon Turner, Journal of Environmental Law, vol. 20 no. 2 (June 2008)
