Yet some government policies aim to enlist citizens in schemes of voluntary cooperation, drawing on an ethos of collective responsibility. Are such policies doomed to failure? This book provides a novel application of rational choice theory to a large-scale survey of environmental attitudes in The Netherlands. Its main findings are that rational citizens are motivated to cooperate towards a less polluted environment to a large extent, but that their willingness to assume responsibility depends on the social context of the collective action problem they face. This empirical study is an important volume in the development of a more consistent foundation for rational choice theory in policy analysis, which seeks to clarify major theoretical issues concerning the role of moral commitment, self-interest and reciprocity in environmental behaviour. 410 0$aTheories of institutional design. 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zNetherlands 606 $aEnvironmental protection$zNetherlands$xCitizen participation 606 $aRational choice theory 615 0$aEnvironmental policy 615 0$aEnvironmental protection$xCitizen participation. 615 0$aRational choice theory. 676 $a363.7/05/09492 700 $aPellikaan$b Huib$01206262 701 $aVeen$b Robert J. van der$01444500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813408903321 996 $aEnvironmental dilemmas and policy design$93624694 997 $aUNINA
