1. Introduction -- 2. Framing environmental policy in the EU -- 3. Subsidiarity and EU environmental policy -- 4. Centralized or decentralized European environmental policy? -- 5. Coordination of local pollution control in a federal system -- 6. Impacts of pollution control on international trade and capital movements -- 7. Strategic environmental policy -- 8. Commitment and fairness in environmental games -- 9. Conclusion.
In this important book Tim Jeppesen investigates environmental regulation in a federal system and addresses the underlying question of whether regulation should be decided centrally, by EU institutions, or de-centrally, by individual member states. Whilst simple economic reasoning presumes that transboundary externalities require central solutions and local externalities need local solutions, the author finds that the real answer is much more complicated.
