title = {Looking Beyond The Dredges},
year = {2014},
note = {A key question in environmental impact assessment is whether a project
should be considered on its own or in a broader context that includes
alternative projects. While at first sight a broader view is
desirable, it is not easy to evaluate the environmental effects of
hypothetical projects. Intensified conflicts over major infrastructure
development projects and calls for extended participation have lately
raised interest in the question of choices between alternatives. This
book first introduces a conceptual framework for the consideration of
alternatives. It proceeds with a close comparative analysis of the
presence of such requirements in German and New Zealand law, and then
examines their operation in practice. With a comparison of two case
studies concerning the dredging of port waterways, the author has
drawn conclusions about the value of the consideration of alternatives
as a tool, and has identified factors that foster or hinder its
implementation in practice.},
