Description
This Routledge Revivals edition examines the enduring debate between command-and-control (CAC) regulations and market-based instruments (MBI) in environmental policy. Originally published in 2003, the book challenges the prevailing assumption that market approaches are universally superior by exploring contexts where regulatory mandates and direct controls may offer genuine advantages. Through systematic analysis, it investigates pollution taxes, transferable emissions permits, and abatement subsidies alongside traditional regulatory frameworks, providing economists, policymakers and environmental professionals with a balanced perspective on policy design. The volume argues that command-and-control approaches, despite criticism from market-focused economists, retain relevance and effectiveness in specific situations where incentive structures alone may prove insufficient. This revival edition reintroduces an important counterpoint to market-based thinking, essential for anyone involved in environmental policy formulation or evaluation.
