Science and Risk Regulation in International Law (Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law): 72 (Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law, Series Number 72) - Hardcover
Book 36 of 133: Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law
Synopsis
The regulation of risk is a preoccupation of contemporary global society and an increasingly important part of international law in areas ranging from environmental protection to international trade. This book examines a key aspect of international risk regulation - the way in which science and technical expertise are used in reaching decisions about how to assess and manage global risks. An interdisciplinary analysis is employed to illuminate how science has been used in international legal processes and global institutions such as the World Trade Organization. Case studies of risk regulation in international law are drawn from diverse fields including environmental treaty law, international trade law, food safety regulation and standard-setting, biosafety and chemicals regulation. The book also addresses the important question of the most appropriate balance between science and non-scientific inputs in different areas of international risk regulation.

Limited signs of gentle wear, good+ condition with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Shelfworn boards. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The volume explores the critical intersection between science, law, and risk regulation in global governance, providing an extensive analysis of how international legal frameworks manage scientific uncertainty and regulate risks related to environmental protection, public health, and safety. Focusing on global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and transboundary pollution, Peel examines the role of scientific expertise in shaping international risk regulation. The book highlights the tensions between scientific evidence and political decision-making, emphasizing the need for a coherent approach in risk governance. Through detailed case studies, Peel investigates how international organisations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UN), incorporate scientific findings into their regulatory processes. She also delves into the precautionary principle, a critical component of international risk regulation, explaining how it is applied in situations where scientific certainty is lacking but potential harm is significant. The contents cover a broad range of topics, including the challenges of interpreting and implementing international treaties based on scientific evidence, the use of expert panels in risk assessment, and the difficulties of harmonising risk regulation across different legal systems. Peel also addresses the political, legal, and ethical dimensions of scientific risk regulation, offering insights into how science influences lawmaking at the global level. Peel's analysis not only reflects on the existing international legal frameworks but also suggests improvements to ensure that global governance effectively manages risks in an era of rapid scientific and technological advancement. This book is essential for legal scholars, policy makers, and anyone involved in international environmental law, public health, and safety regulation. Seller Inventory # 010813
