In an interdisciplinary approach combining international law and international relations, Williams (public international law, American U., Washington) investigates the role international law plays in promoting the resolution of environmental disputes that transcend national borders in the region. He begins with eight examples, including the Baltic Sea, Black Triangle, Temeln nuclear power plant, and the Danube River Gauntlet. Then he develops a set of premises as to when states may be more inclined to employ international law to assist in dispute resolution. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
