Abstract
Cui's research examines three types of significant compensation regimes for environmental damage: the administrative method, civil suits, and a mixed method. By comparing these tools, this research attempts to explain the rationales and limitations of each regime from the perspectives of reasons for formation and effectiveness. Cui argues that both private and administrative liability have their scope and limitations. Notably, the suitability of a particular regime depends on the common law or civil law tradition, maturity of environmental law, property rights of environmental elements, and role of the judiciary in a specific jurisdiction.
