M. Faure and S. Ying: China and International Environmental Liability: legal remedies for transboundary pollution

摘要

In China and International Environmental Liability, Michael Faure and Song Ying examine the issue of transboundary pollution problems and present selected cases of integrated legal remedies. The text compiles the writings of both European and Chinese scholars in law, policy, and environmental fields who can speak to the growing problem of transboundary environmental problems and what role law can play. Conceptually, Faure and Ying organize the book in three parts: international environmental law, national law, and a cases study examining the Songhua River case of transboundary environment pollution in China and Russia. The authors identify several mechanisms to address transboundary pollution problems including the use of domestic law, international conventions, cluster litigation, and environmental impact assessments.
