The latest book by Professor of Government Allen Springer looks at the conflicts that can arise when international environmental law clashes with a state’s own aims. Cases of Conflict: Transboundary Disputes and the Development of International Environmental Law (University of Toronto Press, March 2016), examines a number of case studies of how individual countries have responded to international environmental problems.

As Springer explained in a University of Toronto Press publishing blog, it was a work that was more than two-and-a-half decades in the making.
