'This is an important work which identifies the space left by the law of the World Trade Organization to address global or extraterritorial environmental concerns. By suggesting a new decision model, the author sheds further analytical light on the undertheorized implied jurisdictional clause of Article XX (g) GATT, referred to by the Appellate Body in US - Shrimp. This practical model, which the author goes on to apply to a number of well-known cases, is most useful to guide states and WTO decision-makers in striking an adequate balance between free trade imperatives and global environmental concerns.' -- Cedric Ryngaert, Utrecht University, the Netherlands 'This fascinating and highly readable volume constructs a decision-making framework to help in appraising the practice of extraterritoriality in environmental law. In building a ''decision-tree'' it places emphasis upon the location of the environmental concern and the degree of multilateral support for the measure in question. The volume will be essential reading for academics and practitioners grappling with the challenge of how to enhance the contribution that individual states can make to protecting the global environment whilst preventing powerful states from overreaching the limits of their jurisdiction.' -- Joanne Scott, University College London, UK
