The Habitats Directive in its EU Environmental Law Context - Bog

This book analyses the Habitats Directive; one of the most prominent piece of EU environmental legislation of the past decades. In light of the limited success and the contested nature of the Habitats Directive so far this book examines the successes and failures of the Habitats Directive from a legal and political angle. The book brings together international experts to consider the application, implementation and future of the Habitats Directive in order to assess whether the Habitats Directive is resilient enough to tackle biodiversity loss in the twenty- first century.
