Transboundary Risk Governance
The authors of this interesting, insightful, and very well-written book explore the processes of regulation of transboundary environmental risks through four case studies that engage a variety of state and nonstate actors with divergent demands and knowledge claims. The book is organized into seven chapters, with two introductory chapters on regulating risk and on making rules and generating kn...
متن کاملScience-policy processes for transboundary water governance.
In this policy perspective, we outline several conditions to support effective science-policy interaction, with a particular emphasis on improving water governance in transboundary basins. Key conditions include (1) recognizing that science is a crucial but bounded input into water resource decision-making processes; (2) establishing conditions for collaboration and shared commitment among acto...
متن کاملEnvironmental threats
crops for biofuel are becoming increasingly apparent. Richard Pike, chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry in London recently estimated that it would require the entire production of biofuel crops from 20 hectares to replace the kerosene for just one transatlantic flight from London to New York. Just a few kilometres from Heathrow is Windsor Great Park, a 2,000 hectare former Norman ...
متن کاملTransboundary Spillovers and Decentralization of Environmental Policies
Most US federal environmental policies allow states to assume responsibility for implementation and enforcement of regulations; states with this responsibility are referred to as “authorized” or having “primacy.” Although such decentralization may have benefits, it may also have costs with pollution spillovers across states. This paper estimates these costs empirically by studying the free ridi...
متن کاملPopulation Mobility and Transboundary Environmental Problems
A standard result in the literature on environmental economics is that efficient environmental policies regulating transboundary pollution will be adopted only if there is interjurisdictional coordination. Efficient policies can be adopted as a result of interregional treaties or mandated by a central authority. The present paper demonstrates that if there is perfect population mobility between...
