European Union: Shifting Environmental Governance to the Supranational Level

Anthony R. Zito

Chapter 6 in Environmental Governance and Decentralisation, 2007 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book examines how different countries define and address environmental issues, specifically in relation to intergovernmental relations: the creation of institutions, the assignment of powers, and the success of alternative solutions. It also investigates whether a systemic view of the environment has influenced the policy-making process. The broad perspective adopted includes a detailed analysis of seventeen countries in six continents by scholars from a range of disciplines – economics, political science, environmental science and law – thus producing novel material that moves away from the conventional treatment of decentralisation and the environment in economic literature.
