Abstract:
This Working Paper collects the contributions that were elaborated for a Roundtable
held at the European University Institute in May 2006. The Roundtable was meant to
discuss the emergence of the new field of studies in law: Sustainable Development Law.
The Roundtable gathered members of the Working Group on Environmental Law of the
EUI and guest speakers from European Universities. Together, professors and
researchers try to delineate the material content of such new field of law, its relation
with the more familiar field of environmental law, and underlined some problems
arising from the legal use of concepts such as sustainable development, sustainable
management and sustainability
