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. 410 0$aSUNY series in global environmental policy. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zUnited States 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zRussia (Federation) 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 676 $a333.720947 700 $aKochtcheeva$b Lada V$0945956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811392703321 996 $aComparative environmental regulation in the United States and Russia$94103993 997 $aUNINA
