Private Rights in Public Resources: Equity and Property Allocation in Market-Based Environmental Policy
ISBN: 9781891853685 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Privatizing public resources by creating stronger property rights is an increasingly popular environmental policy option. While advocates of this type of market-based' environmental policy tend to focus on its efficiency and ecological implications, such policies also raise important considerations of equity and distributive justice. This book confronts these ethical implications by showing not that equity ideas should influence such policies, but how in fact they already do so.

Science and Technology Advice for Congress
ISBN: 9781891853746 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The elimination of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) in 1995 came during a storm of budget cutting and partisan conflict. Operationally, it left Congress without an institutional arrangement to bring expert scientific and technological advice into the process of legislative decisionmaking. This deficiency has become increasingly critical, as more and more of the decisions faced by Congress and society require judgments based on highly specialized technical information. Offering perspectives from scholars and scientists with diverse academic backgrounds and extensive experience within...

Choosing Environmental Policy: Comparing Instruments and Outcomes in the United States and Europe
ISBN: 9781891853876 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In a unique format, case studies contrast direct regulation on one side of the Atlantic with an incentive policy on the other. For example, Germany's direct regulation of SO2 emissions is compared with an incentive approach in the United States. Direct regulation of water pollution via the U.S. Clean Water Act is contrasted...
