Offering an essential insight into the complexities of policy-making, this volume builds on comparative case studies on air and water pollution to examine how governance structure affects environmental policy performance in the US, Switzerland, Canada and the European Union.

Recenzje

'This is an excellent book on a very important subject: at what jurisdictional level in decentralized governmental systems should the responsibility for meaningful environmental regulation be housed? To answer this question, Inger Weibust critically reviews a vast economic and political science literature to formulate empirical propositions which are then "tested" using information derived from a study of four governmental systems: those of the United States, Canada, Switzerland, and the European Union. A genuine contribution!' Albert Breton, University of Toronto, Canada
