Title: Implementing EU environmental policy
Description: "This book analyses the impact of new policy instruments and more participatory forms of governance on closing the implementation gap in EU environmental policy and situates these new approaches in the general conceptual debate on effective implementation and compliance.".

"Based on a common theoretical framework, the chapters in the book assess the implementation performance of the varying innovations in EU environmental governance - providing for more transparency, participation, self-regulation and economic incentives - from a comparative perspective. The contributions focus on new empirical material from EU environmental policy making in the 1990s.".

"Packed with distinctive theoretical insights and rich empirical information, the book will be essential reading for both practitioners and academics. In universities, the book speaks to political scientists in the fields of European Union studies, public policy and environmental politics; to students of environmental, European as well as administrative law; and to scholars in the areas of public administration and organisational studies."--BOOK JACKET.
