Economic and Environmental Regulation of International Aviation - Steven Truxal - Bog

This book observes the developing governance of global aviation, taking into account the concepts of sovereignty, jurisdiction and territoriality, and the proliferation of actors and participants as partners in a global public policy network, to posit that an upgraded system of global governance for civil aviation helps to explain the emerging complex landscape for global governance of civil aviation. As evidence of the emerging, complex matrix of governance of global aviation, this book identifies and reviews a selection of contemporary, transnational economic and environmental challenges facing the globalized aviation sector, e.g. fair competition safeguards, consumer protection, noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and the respective `legal¿ and policy actions taken at national level (United Arab Emirates, Qatar and People¿s Republic of China), regional level (the European Union) and international level (UNFCCC and ICAO).
