Governments have at their disposal a broad range of policy
instruments that they may use to influence behaviour and pursue
environmental policy goals. This volume of the Elgar Encyclopedia
of Environmental Law is a comprehensive guide to these
environmental policy instruments, examining their characteristics,
applications, strengths and limitations, as well as giving an
overview of the most significant issues related to their adoption
and effectiveness. With entries written by leading international
scholars, this incisive volume provides insight into the
cross-cutting issues that are common to discussions of such policy
instruments, including the legal bases for their use, how
instruments can be compared for costs, distributional questions,
and monitoring and enforcement. Contributions also explore hybrids
and blends of policy instruments and explain the relationships
between them, using case studies and examples from around the
world, as well as providing succinct summaries of the substantial
literature in the field. Students and scholars in environmental law
will find this volume to be an invaluable resource, for both its
solid theoretical foundations and its analysis of undertreated
issues in the field. Its discussion of how and why each policy tool
might be used is particularly relevant for policymakers and
practitioners. Contributors include: A.D.K. Abelkop, C. Coglianese,
