Landscape Protection in International Law

Amy Strecker, Landscape Protection in International Law (Oxford University Press, 2018).

How does international law, which deals for the most part with universality, deal with something so region-specific and particular as landscape? What is the legal conception of landscape and what are the various roles played by international law in its protection? Amy Strecker assesses the institutional framework for landscape protection, analyses  the interplay between landscape and human rights, and links the etymology and theory of landscape with its articulation in law.
