This book reveals the many harms which flow across the ever-more porous sovereign borders of a globalising world. These harms expose weaknesses in the international legal regime built on sovereignty of nation states. Using the Trail Smelter Arbitration, one of the most cited cases in international environmental law, this book explores the changing nature of state responses to transboundary harm. Taking a critical approach, the book examines the arbitration's influence on international law generally, and international environmental law specifically. In particular, the book explores whether there are lessons from Trail Smelter that are useful for resolving transboundary challenges confronting the international community. The book collects the commentary of a distinguished set of international law scholars who consider the history of the Trail Smelter arbitration, its significance for international environmental law, its broader relationship to international law, and its resonance in fields beyond the environment.

This highly-informative book provides tools and guidance for teaching environmental law in a time of turmoil. Rebecca Bratspies and Carmen Gonzalez clarify key, often unexplored, first principles behind environmental regulation, enabling teachers to confidently navigate the material and enhance their expertise.The authors trace the crucial history of each major federal environmental statute and provide an accessible overview of each statute’s major provisions. By integrating a statute’s social and political context with its regulatory structure, they demonstrate how to incorporate environmental justice throughout a course and help students understand the life-and-death stakes behind seemingly technical regulatory choices. Each chapter includes practical teaching exercises that integrate history, justice, science, and law into classroom learning. Above all, Bratspies and Gonzalez offer numerous practical examples. Each chapter is full of teaching tips and problems designed to start hard, interesting conversations, allowing students to master technical materials while grappling with social justice implications. Teaching Environmental Law in Context is an essential read for educators interested in bringing environmental justice into their classrooms or developing comparative and interdisciplinary courses in environmental law and policy. It is a valuable reference for government officials and activists looking to gain insight into environmental advocacy strategies. Scholars and students seeking concise summaries of foundational topics in environmental law will also find this book relevant.
