...Historical studies of invasive species traditionally focus on European biota in North America. Yet the lesser known and less extensively studied transfer of American species to Europe also created significant ecological and economic problems. The cultural impact has also been substantial...

...To be comprehensive and effective, policy frameworks for addressing invasive species need to address a number of levels including the pathways by which invasive species are introduced, the legal sector that has jurisdiction over the movement and/or use of those species, and geographic scale...

...Invasive species (IS) prevention and management present complex challenges for a multi-country free trade bloc with many entry points, biogeographic zones and layers of governance. Trade pathways are key drivers for introductions into the 28-member European Union (EU), which accounts for around 19...

... framework for significant dimensions of the natural and human environment. But none of these laws address the broad problem of harmful invasive species. As the problem of harmful invasive species have become more widely noticed, the federal and state legal response remains inadequate. This chapter...

...We now have a good sense of the costs associated with the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes and understand the risk of further invasions from different vectors. The most effective way to avoid those costs is through strategies that would prevent introduction...

... policies that will successfully reduce the impacts of invasive species requires contributions from economists, ecologists, legal scholars, historians, engineers, and many more. Many experts from these disciplines are working on invasive species, but this work has rarely crossed disciplinary boundaries...
