Conserving Europe's Wildlife Law and Policy of the Natura 2000 Network of Protected Areas

Conserving Europe's Wildlife Law and Policy of the Natura 2000 Network of Protected Areas

The Natura 2000 network of protected areas is the centrepiece of European Union nature policy currently covering almost one-fifth of the EU’s entire land territory plus large marine areas. This vast EU-wide network which aims to conserve Europe’s most valuable and threatened species and habitats has major impacts on land use throughout all Member States of the EU. This book critically assesses the origins and implementation of the Natura 2000 network established under the Birds Directive of 1979 and the Habitats Directive of 1992. Based on original archival research and interviews with key participants the book records a detailed history of the origins and negotiation of Natura 2000 policy and law with the history of EU environmental policy provided as a framework. An historical institutionalist approach is adopted which emphasises the importance of understanding legal and policy development as processes that unfold over time. Three phases in the history of EU environmental policy are identified and described and the history of EU nature policy is placed within the context of these three phases. Informed by this history the author presents a comprehensive summary and assessment of the law and policy that protects Natura 2000 sites at EU level and reviews the nature conservation outcomes for the targeted species and habitats. The book reveals how a knowledge of the history of Natura 2000 enriches our understanding of key issues such as conflicts in establishing and conserving the Natura 2000 network EU integration in the field of nature conservation and the future of EU nature policy. | Conserving Europe's Wildlife Law and Policy of the Natura 2000 Network of Protected Areas

Legal Accountability and Britain's Wars 2000-2015

Legal Accountability and Britain's Wars 2000-2015

This book discusses the manner in which Britain’s wars which took place between 2000 and 2015 have interacted with the relevant principles of international law and English law for the purpose primarily of considering legal accountability. During a debate in the House of Lords in 2005 a former Chief of the Defence Staff commented that ‘the Armed Forces are under legal siege. ’ The book will discuss the major legal issues which have arisen ranging from the various votes in Parliament to go to war the constitutional relationship between ministers and senior commanders the right under international law to use force the influence of human rights law the role of the courts in England (including the coroners’ courts) to the legal regime applying to the conduct of UK military operations. It will assess critically whether the armed forces will now have to accept that operations conducted outside the UK are subject to greater legal scrutiny than previously and whether if this is the case it is likely to hinder their future military activities. This book will be of great interest to scholars of international law the law of armed conflict military studies and international relations as well as to those with a professional or other interest in the subject matter. | Legal Accountability and Britain's Wars 2000-2015

Ukraine's Foreign and Security Policy 1991-2000

Ukraine's Foreign and Security Policy 1991-2000

This book analyses Ukraine's relations with each of its neighbours in the 1990s. It examines the degree to which these relations fitted into Ukraine's broad objective of reorienting its key political ties from East to West and asseses the extent to which Ukraine succeeded in achieving this reorientation. It shows how in the early days of independence Ukraine fought off threats from Russia and Romania to its territorial integrity and how it made progress in establishing good relations with its western neighbours as a means of moving closer towards Central European sub-regional and European regional organisations. It also shows how the sheer breadth and depth of its economic and military ties to Russia continued to exert such a strong influence that relations with Russia dwarfed Ukraine's relations with all other neighbours resulting in a foreign and security policy which attempted to counterbalance the competing forces of East and West. | Ukraine's Foreign and Security Policy 1991-2000

The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

The Atlantic in Global History is a collection of original essays by leading authors that both introduce the main themes of Atlantic history and expand the category of the Atlantic chronologically spatially and methodologically. Moving away from the nation-state focused model of Atlantic history this book emphasizes the comparisons among national experiences of the Atlantic. Meanwhile by extending beyond the early modern period and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it presents the continued analytical value of the Atlantic paradigm. Each chapter explores the events that formed the nations and cultures of the Atlantic region and examines the Atlantic’s relationship with non-Atlantic communities. This second edition is updated with a new introduction which includes a section dedicated to developments in the field since the publication of the previous edition and a new guide for instructors with suggestions for classroom use. The volume’s broad global and chronological coverage makes it an ideal book for students and lecturers of Atlantic History. | The Atlantic in Global History 1500-2000

Economies of Representation 1790?2000 Colonialism and Commerce

Economies of Representation 1790?2000 Colonialism and Commerce

Although postcolonialism has emerged as one of the most significant theoretical movements in literary and cultural studies it has paid scant attention to the importance of trade and trade relations to debates about culture. Focusing on the past two centuries this volume investigates the links among trade colonialism and forms of representation posing the question 'What is the historical or modern relationship between economic inequality and imperial patterns of representation and reading?' Rather than dealing exclusively with a particular industry or type of industry the contributors take up the issue of how various economies have been represented in Aboriginal art; in literature by North American Caribbean Portuguese South African First Nations Australian British and Aboriginal authors; and in a diverse range of writings that includes travel diaries missionary texts the findings of the Leprosy Investigation Commission early medical accounts and media representations of HIV/AIDS. Examining trade in commodities as various as illicit drugs liquor bananas tourism adventure fiction and modern Aboriginal art as well as cultural exchanges in politics medicine and literature the essays reflect the widespread origins of the contributors themselves who are based throughout the English-speaking world. Taken as a whole this book contests the commonplace view promoted by some modern economists-that trade in and of itself has a leveling effect equalising cultures places and peoples-demonstrating instead the ways in which commerce has created and exacerbated differences in power. | Economies of Representation 1790?2000 Colonialism and Commerce

Nations in Transit - 2000-2001 Civil Society Democracy and Markets in East Central Europe and Newly Independent States

Nations in Transit - 2000-2001 Civil Society Democracy and Markets in East Central Europe and Newly Independent States

How are democracy and market reforms faring in East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union? Is civil society expanding or shrinking? Are the media free or fettered by official constraints? To what degree are nations governed by the rule of law? Are human rights respected? Do taxation and trade policies property rights reforms banking laws privatization and macroeconomic policies encourage or encumber private sector development and economic growth? In Nations in Transit 2001 Freedom House asked leading regional specialists and in-house experts to answer a checklist of more than 70 indicators for 27 post-Communist countries in ten key areas: political process; civil society; independent media; governance and public administration; constitutional legislative and judicial framework; corruption; privatization; macroeconomic policy; microeconomic policy; and social sector indicators. The survey organized in a new essay format was reviewed by an oversight board of leading U. S. scholars and by experts from Central and Eastern and the former Soviet Union. The results are incisive authoritative and comprehensive country-by-country reports that assess the progress of East Central European and former Soviet countries in ridding themselves of repressive political systems and inefficient statist economies. As an added dimension Freedom House-which for nearly 25 years has rated global political rights and civil liberties in its benchmark Freedom in the World surveys-has developed a rating system that allows for a comparative analysis of democratic and market reforms in the countries covered by the survey. Nations in Transit 2001 is an invaluable resource and reference tool for governmental and nongovernmental institutions schools and universities and anyone else interested in better understanding the political economic and legal structures and institutions that constitute the infrastructure on which the transition to open societies and markets depends. | Nations in Transit - 2000-2001 Civil Society Democracy and Markets in East Central Europe and Newly Independent States
