Has globalization led to a convergence in policy-making across
nations and, if so, what are the causal mechanisms? This book
analyses the extent to which the environmental policies of nation
states have converged over the last thirty years and whether this
convergence has led to a strengthening or weakening of
environmental standards (a race to the top, or a race to the
bottom). It also analyses the factors that account for these
developments. Based on a unique empirical data set, the study
covers the development of a wide range of environmental policies in
twenty-four OECD countries, including EU member states as well as
Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Mexico and the USA, with particular
emphasis on the impact of institutional and economic interlinkages
among these countries.
