This unit examines the different legal traditions in the world today and the role of comparative legal study in the context of environmental legal governance. Domestic environmental law in civil law and common law traditions will be explored as well as other legal traditions involving customary law and religious law. Environmental law in Asia, the European Union and the Pacific Region will be a particular focus, but the unit will also draw upon examples from Africa, North America and Latin America. The unit will cover culturally specific approaches to implementation of international environmental law in the domestic arena. -- Course Website
