History
This Manual is the result of work over a number of years by many people within the Institute for European Environmental Policy, helped by others outside it. After nearly two decades of publication in a loose leaf format it was felt that the organisation of the chapters and text now needs to reflect not the just the historical evolution of policy in certain areas, but also the most important Directives and policies in use today. It also needs to better reflect the increasing importance of softer policy instruments and how different policy instruments interact to regulate activities in relation to the environment. In addition, it is essential to account for implementation issues not just within the UK but also in other EU countries thereby giving the manual a greater utility to a pan-European audience as well as a global audience, since the EU now has the most comprehensive body of environmental policy in the world. Therefore, the Manual of European Environmental Policy will be launched in June 2010 as a remodelled online and interactive guide to EU environmental policy across the 27 Member States.Customer comments
