However, cost-effectiveness and technical rationality are often at odds with political goals and policy traditions. Lada V. Kochtcheeva analyzes the introduction of flexible laws and regulations in both air and water quality policies in the United States and the Russian Federation from the 1960s to the present, and highlights the replacement of command and control systems with flexible instruments such as incentive programs, tradable permits, and pollution charges. With its rich comparative institutional analysis, the book contributes to the debate on institutional dynamism, policy innovation, and new modes of regulation, while simultaneously addressing the processes and attributes of good governance.SUNY series in global environmental policy.Environmental policyUnited StatesEnvironmental policyRussia (Federation)Environmental policyEnvironmental policy333.720947Kochtcheeva Lada V945956MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811392703321Comparative environmental regulation in the United States and Russia4103993UNINA
