This significant book investigates the political economy of
environmental policy in Europe with a careful analysis of how EU
directives are realised in the member states. The authors explore
this issue through a comparative evaluation of the implementation
of three pieces of EU environmental legislation in France, Germany,
the Netherlands and the UK. Areas covered by the legislation
include air emission standards for waste incinerators, the
electricity supply industry, and the certification of environmental
management systems. The results vary across cases even though
overcompliance is observed in certain cases. The regularity arising
from the different case studies is related to the determinants of
the environmental outcomes that are observed. When environmental
directives are implemented they are likely to interact with
parallel policy processes and these interactions can exert a strong
positive or negative influence on the success of the policy in
question. The central policy problem is the fact that these
interactions are very difficult to anticipate at the policy
formulation stage. It leads the authors to propose that effective
environmental policy should therefore be adaptable in order to cope
with these unanticipated effects. This book covers a very important
and topical issue by studying the genuine impact of environmental
directives and increasing the readers' understanding of the way in
which environmental federalism works in Europe. It will be welcomed
by scholars of environmental law and political science,
environmental economists, and environmental policymakers, advisors
and consultants.
