Marking the 50th anniversary of the Ramsar Convention, the first modern multilateral environmental agreement, this timely book reflects upon the Convention’s work and its wider impact upon the protection of aquatic resources and wetland-dependent species.
This comprehensive book examines how and to what extent the Ramsar Convention has worked to protect wetlands, while exploring how it has influenced and collaborated with other international and regional regimes. Contributions from an array of expert authors analyse the key approaches and innovations that have been applied to the global protection of wetlands, while also considering the crucial role that wetlands play in climate mitigation and in supporting the needs of humans and animals alike.
Filling a gap in the current scholarship by discussing the impact and implementation of this pioneering convention, Wetlands and International Environmental Law is an inspiring read for academics in international and regional environmental law. This discerning book is also of interest to those working in the fields of political science, international relations, and area studies with a particular environmental focus.

Waters of the United States: POTUS, SCOTUS, WOTUS, and the Politics of a National Resource Book

In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of ‘waters of the United States’ (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972.
Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history—and its importance for today’s efforts to conserve a critical natural resource. The book not only examines how bodies of water are legally defined (and therefore protected), but who gets to decide on these definitions. The result is a fascinating look at the ongoing power struggle between the president and federal agencies, the courts, the states, and Congress, over water quality.
Waters of the United States offers the detailed analysis necessary for any lawyer or environmental advocate to understand the nuances of water policy, while spinning a compelling narrative for readers who have never cracked a law book. The unique mix of insights into environmental law, history, and politics is required reading for anyone who cares about the future of the nation’s water.

"In Corporatocracy, Ciara Torres-Spelliscy reveals the role corporations play in this dire state of political affairs and explains why and how they should be held accountable by the courts, their shareholders, and citizens themselves. Drawing on key Supreme Court cases, Torres-Spelliscy explores how corporations have, more often than not, been on the wrong side of history by working to undermine democratic norms, practices, and laws. From bankrolling regressive politicians to funding ghost candidates with dark money, she shows us how corporations subvert the will of the American people, and how courts struggle to hold them and corrupt politicians accountable."
