Chapter Chapter 3 in Asymmetric Environmental Governance in Azerbaijan, 2021, pp 59-79 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter looks at the condition of oil contamination on the Absheron Peninsula. It examines the level of pollution and the extent to which projects to address the pollution are implemented. It starts with a discussion of various accounts about the oil-polluted land, which is important in terms of measuring how much decontamination work has been done until 2020. This enables us to assess whether governmental plans to remedy oil pollution on the Absheron Peninsula have been successful. Additionally, this chapter looks at the amount of finance that has been allotted to alleviate oil pollution. The scale of the decontamination work, the allocation of finance by the government and governmental environmental goals to remedy oil pollution are discussed to evaluate if un-politics holds true in the case of oil pollution.
