Chapter 9 titled Regional protection of human rights and the environment is part of the Handbook of Regional Cooperation and Integration Edited by Philippe De Lombaerde.

This timely Handbook offers a detailed cross-policy assessment on the need, locale and impact of regional cooperation and integration, addressing how the principles of regional integration have affected multi-level governance and subsequent public policy. Individual chapters provide explanations of what regional cooperation means in a specific policy area, identify relevant theories, and present empirical evidence to support the arguments outlined.
