A Matchmaker's Challenge: Marrying International Law and American Environmental Law
Abstract
<div> This Article <span>evaluates the relationship between international agreements and </span><span>domestic public law in the context of environmental decision-making. </span><span>First, relevant procedural and substantive doctrines of international </span><span>and domestic law are examined to clarify the nature of the interactions </span><span>between the two legal systems. Then, several case studies of </span><span>serious discontinuities between international developments and </span><span>domestic public law are analyzed. Finally, after the examination of </span><span>these generic doctrines and concrete examples, recommendations are </span><span>made for narrowing these divergences and encouraging smoother </span><span>relationships between the international and national legal regimes.</span> </div>
