This book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of how regulation can be leveraged to address worsening environmental harm, particularly in key areas such as water pollution and deforestation.Leading scholars outline the theoretical underpinnings of regulation and their practical applications, demonstrating how regulation manifests across various environmental domains and within social and policy contexts. The book provides crucial insights into the intensifying global environmental crises, examining the regulation of issues such as air, land, plastic and microplastic waste pollution. Chapters explore challenges and successes in the field, covering key topics including responsive and risk-based regulation, environmental permitting, water law and governance, market mechanisms and capacity-building in international climate law.The Research Handbook on Environmental Regulation is an essential read for scholars and students of environmental law, political science, business, geography and climate studies. It is also beneficial for national and international government agencies looking to tackle the current climate crisis.

Corporate Social Responsibility Across the Globe demonstrates many ways that CSR can be applied by law to overcome regulation and governance challenges around the world. Using interdisciplinary and comparative models and perspectives, the book challenges dominant understandings of CSR, such as neoliberal voluntarism, and demonstrates the regulatory and governance implications of an interdependent relationship between CSR and the law. The book identifies substantive and procedural barriers for CSR in national, public, and private international law. By analyzing, deconstructing, and reframing CSR in these contexts, the book underlines opportunities for more effective application of CSR as a governance mechanism. Chapters investigate relevant regulation concepts, paradigms and approaches for CSR; methods for infusing CSR in corporate governance; and ways to facilitate private regulation of CSR in more developed, emerging, and developing jurisdictions.

This timely and original book provides an exploration of the factors that combine to determine the form of regulatory problems and the overall success or failure of regulation. Using environmental regulation as a basis for analysis, this book puts forward a theoretical framework for the design of effective regulation and demonstrates how businesses’ compliance with environmental regulation, in particular, could be improved.The authors address previous shortcomings in regulatory explanations, which have frequently overlooked the structural character of regulation and underplayed how the factors involved work together to determine regulatory shape and performance. In seeking to address this deficit, the authors develop a compliance line to demonstrate how different choices on how to regulate will affect compliance outcomes. Chapters include a review of how regulation has changed and sought to improve over the years, the relationship between rule following and regulation, how regulation incorporates and relies on necessary conditions, an identification of the trade-offs involved in regulating, and a discussion of why regulation is, by necessity and to a degree, unfair.Providing theories for how regulation can be structured to improve compliance, The Structure of Regulation will be a key resource for students and academics in the fields of law and regulation, environment studies, public policy and political science.
