Since the late 1970s, the European Union (EU) has seen an immense
growth in regulatory measures aimed at environmental protection. In
more recent years, this regulatory activity has come under
increasing criticism. This has coincided with a more general
disenchantment with regulation, resulting in a wave of
"deregulation" initiatives. These initially focused on
privatization and market liberalization in various industries
(economic deregulation), but subsequently have also been applied to
environmental policy itself. This text looks at two separate, but
related facets of deregulation in the EU. Through case studies of
the energy transport and water sectors, it examines the
environmental implication of economic deregulation. Dealing with
options for deregulation in environmental policy, the book looks at
self-regulation, negotiated agreements and environmental management
systems. A number of other issues are also addressed such as the
links between deregulation, environmental protection and
competition.
First published in 1999, this volume contributed to the debate on
the European Union in furthering the study of environmental policy
and, expressly, by introducing promising young scholars to the
debate. The volume is based on a series of seminars for the
Interdisciplinary Research Network on Environment and Safety
(IRNES) with funding from the UK Economic and Social Research
Council (ESRC). These new scholars explore areas including
post-decisional politics, sustainability and agricultural
biotechnology regulation.

This volume examines case studies on EU countries' policy to combat
climate change, examining the constraints of and opportunities for
the implementation of climate change strategies in these countries.
The introductory section provides an overview of the climate change
problem and its potential effects, examining the roles of different
greenhouse gases, the main emission sources, the likely
consequences of climate change and the scope for abatement and
adapation. The second part consists of six detailed case studies on
diverse national strategies. The book concludes with a comparative
analysis of the findings of the case studies, and suggestions for
approaches to implement emission reduction strategies.
