Description: Political Economy of Environmental Policy : A Public Choice Approach to Market Instruments, Hardcover by Dijkstra, Bouwe R., ISBN 1858989647, ISBN-13 9781858989648, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Using a public choice perspective, Dijkstra (a postdoctoral researcher in economics in the faculty of law, U. of Groningen, the Netherlands) analyzes the political economy of environmental policy, emphasizing the role of powerful interest groups which he asserts have blocked the introduction of market instruments. Drawing on new research, he examines the attitudes of interest groups and how they influence environmental policy, followed by discussion of the preferences of shareholders and workers in the polluting industry, the environmental movement, and the environmental bureaucracy. He then investigates the circumstances under which market instruments will have low or no probability of being accepted, assuming they are welfare-maximizing. Annotation c.
