- Title
Das Verbandsklagerecht der Umweltverbände in Deutschland: Effekte auf Rechtsanwendung, Umweltqualität und Machtverhältnisse.

- Abstract
In German environmental policy, the power constellation of economic vs. environmental interests has fundamentally changed in favour of environmental associations over the last 20-25 years. Against this background, this article deals with the right of action for recognized environmental associations, which was introduced in 2006 and has been used increasingly since 2013. It examines – in particular on the basis of the 47 lawsuits filed by the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) against air quality plans – the questions of whether and how this right of action is used, what effects its use has on the application of environmental law and environmental quality and whether the use of the right of action has an impact on the balance of power in environmental policy.
