Rethinking Voluntary Approaches in Environmental Policy

Rory Sullivan, The University of Leeds, UK

The book systematically analyses three initiatives (environmental management systems, the Australian Greenhouse Challenge and the Australian mining industry’s Code for Environmental Management) and their contribution to public environmental policy. By moving the debate away from narrow considerations of economic efficiency towards a broader framework that accounts for the multiple goals to which environmental policy needs to be directed, this book significantly enhances our understanding of the role that voluntary approaches can play in achieving environmental policy goals.

“吸引广大读者。this book makes a worthwhile contribution to the environmental politics literature.’
– Darren McCauley, Environmental Politics
