Environmental Law

This book explores the innovative non-doctrinal methods currently being used in environmental law research. Drawing on their extensive experience, expert contributors provide insight on how creative approaches to research can improve understanding of law and policy, leading to more effective legal protection for the environment. Focusing on qualitative research, chapters explain how to use non-doctrinal methods in environmental law research, including in-depth examples of successful uses.

This handbook provides a theoretically informed analysis of methodological approaches in the discipline, such as constitutional analysis, rights-based approaches, spatial/geographical analysis, immersive methodologies and autoethnography, which will aid in the practical critique and re-imagining of Environmental Law.
