Environmental regulation came of age towards the end of the 20th
century as the blunt methods of command-and-control were subjected
to trenchant criticism from both economists and lawyers in the
United States and Europe. As a result of this intellectual
development, as well as continuing and increasing severity of
environmental problems, there is a need for fresh thinking about
regulatory methods that are rational from both economic and legal
points of view. This text focuses on the viability of one
particular regulatory innovation - the use of agreements or
contracts for environmental regulation - as it has been practised
in the United States and Europe. The various contributions explore
the general idea that certain kinds of environmental problems may
best be addressed through contracts among interested parties,
including representatives of various levels of government,
business, local community and employment representatives, and
public interest groups. The parties get together to discuss a
particular problem and then agree to an agreement or contract
designed to address key issues and interests. At least in some
situations, this approach may yield greater flexibility, stronger
commitment, and more creative outcomes than traditional
command-and-control regulation. Experiments in the use of
environmental contracts have begun on both sides of the Atlantic, a
fact which makes the comparative study offered here especially
timely and valuable.
