✦ Synopsis

Environmental management regulations have often faced opposition on practical and ideological grounds. Since the 1980s there has been a movement towards liberalization, coupled with the continued failure of the market to protect the environment as a public good. The contributors to this book examine a number of political and industrial trends and responses to these challenges. A useful set of case studies appraise environmental policies and comprehensive statements on environmental protection and sustainable development by numerous countries in the North and the South.
