National Environmental Policies: A Comparative Study of Capacity-Building
Capacity Building for Ecological Modernization: Lessons from Cross-National Research
Environmental policy development in 30 advanced and developing countries is examined using the capacity-building approach. Findings indicate that an appropriate mix of institutions is decisive for policy performance and that formal institutionalization is helpful for longer term policy-learning processes. Globalization is not found to be negative, as often claimed: Rather, the globalization of environmental policies and proponents counteracts eco…

Explaining Differences in the Performance of Clean Air Policies: An International and Interregional Comparative Study
On the basis of a large international comparative study of implementation policies from 14 different regional implementation systems (RIS) from the Federal Republic of Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and the Netherlands, we first tried to identify the impact of regional policies in terms of their capacity to influence the behaviour of individual emitters within selected local implementation areas (LIA). For each of the 14 regions we select…
Japan: The Success and Limitations of Technocratic Environmental Policy
The recent prediction that Japan could not be prevented from committing ‘ecological hari-kari’ (Gunnarsson, 1974) has not been fulfilled although, on the other hand, Japan is still far from being an ecological paragon. The Japanese people had to suffer terrible experiences owing to the effects of environmental disruption and have still to cope with many unsolved problems. In a tremendous effort to mitigate damage to health and the environment in …
Implementing Air Quality Control Programs in Europe: Some Results of a Comparative Study
Formulation and Implementation of Air Quality Control Programmes: Patterns of Interest Consideration
This article investigates some central aspects of the relationships between programme structure and implementation of sulphur dioxide air quality control policies. Previous implementation research, primarily adopting American approaches, has neglected the connections between the processes of programme formulation and implementation. ‘Programme’, as the key variable in implementation studies, has been defined too narrowly. On the basis of theoreti…
