Although written by a lawyer,it adopts an interdisciplinary approach to regulation, which seeks to move beyond the sociological and economic frameworks within which pollution regulation has typically been analysed in the UK.  The UK and EC regulatory systems are examined within the context of 'regulatory federalism'.  The aim of this is to explore how and why regulatory decisions concerning pollution are taken at different levels of a federal regulatory hierarchy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins with a discussion of the essentials of pollution regulation, including traditional economic justifications for regulation and non-economic ones based on environmental ethics.  It goes on to examine subsidiarity and the appropriate level for regulation – a particularly topical issue in the light of recent devolution within the UK.  Models of regulatory decision-making are then addressed, comparing the rigours of 'ecologism' with the cost-benefit based alternative of 'economism' and the more participatory style of 'republicanism'. Other chapters include a comparison of the various regulatory techniques in terms of the values of accountability, equality, certainty, efficiency and effectiveness, and an examination of regulatory enforcement, covering issues such as accountability for enforcement decisions, corporate liability, strict liability and a critical analysis of the so-called 'co-operative' approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Regulatory Essentials\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Privatisation, Liberalisation and Deregulation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Choosing the Level: Regulation and Federalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 The Institutional Legitimacy of Pollution Regulation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 Deciding Regulatory Goals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6 Regulatory Techniques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7 Enforcement I: Enforcing National Command-and-control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8 Enforcement II: Enforcing EC Regulation, and Alternative Instruments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 Pollution Regulation and Growth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eChris Hilson is Professor of Law at The University of Reading.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 July 2000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781841130941\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e288\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.96\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515278819468,"sku":"9781841130941","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a3d50580-921a-4e33-927d-cee440f1fe7e.jpg?v=1784691667","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781841130941","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
