Many highly industrialized countries are rapidly adopting new
environmental policy instruments (NEPIs) such as eco-taxes,
tradable permits, voluntary agreements and eco-labels. This
apparently profound shift has prompted widespread claims that NEPIs
have eclipsed regulation as the preferred tool of environmental
policy. This volume offers a fresh perspective on the evolving
tool-box of environmental policy by providing a systematic analysis
of the policy and politics surrounding the adoption and use of the
main NEPIs in a variety of countries. By blending political
theories with fresh empirical material, the contributors to this
interdisciplinary volume assess the claim that NEPIs have
supplanted regulation, heralding a new era of environmental
governance in which the state plays a secondary role in
sustainability policy-making.
