Bibliography
Cinnamon Carlarne joined the University of South Carolina School of Law from the University of Oxford where she was the Harold Woods Research Fellow in Environmental Law at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies and the Faculty of Law and a Junior Research Fellow at Wadham College. She previously taught at the University of Cincinnati Center for Environmental Studies. Prior to joining the University of Cincinnati, she was an Associate Attorney in the Energy, Land Use and Environment section at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in Washington, DC. Her major research interests are in the area of domestic and international environmental law and policy.
Her current work focuses on undertaking a comparative, socio-legal analysis of global climate change laws and policies in the European Union and the United States, with the objective of improving understanding of the disparate legal and political strategies being used to address climate change in these two critical regions, the socio-legal factors influencing the shape of these strategies, the likely successes and failures of current policy strategies, and the implications of these findings for efforts by individual States and the international community to address global climate change in the long-term. She is also developing a new project which explores developments in international law generally, and international environmental law specifically with a view towards suggesting how efforts to develop an international climate change legal regime highlight the pressing need to look more closely at how fragmentation and compartmentalization in international law interfere with attempts to identify and respond to linkages between international environmental law and other areas of international law. Beyond these projects, she is interested in interdisciplinary research in the area of international environmental law, especially at the intersection between environmental law and other areas of law and governance.
She has presented her work at academic conferences in the UK, Europe and North America at meetings focusing on environmental law, socio-legal studies, and geography.
