Professor publishes two papers in US journals

Professor Kristen van de Biezenbos has published papers in two US law journals - the George Washington Journal of Energy and Environment and the Florida State Journal of Land Use & Environmental Law.

"Negotiating Energy Democracy" (Journal of Land Use & Environmental Law) considers the underpinnings of regulatory decision-making in the energy context, and identifies why relying on concepts like procedural justice to address community concerns is misplaced.

"Enforcing Private Environmental Governance Standards Through Community Contracts" (George Washington Journal of Energy & Environmental Law) explores whether coupling private environmental governance concepts with community contracts could strengthen the effectiveness of, and provide a level of enforcement for both.
