▼ Societies have established various forms of governance to protect the natural environment from the adverse effects of human activity. While direct “command and control” regulation has achieved significant improvements in environmental protection, concerns for its efficiency have led governments to seek alternative approaches to achieve environmental policy objectives. Commentators describe a shift from “government” to “governance” as policy makers and regulators seek to harness wider social forces beyond government, while risk-based regulation is pursued to target constrained regulatory resources for maximum effect. However, robust evidence for the effectiveness of different forms of regulation is lacking. This thesis addresses this gap, providing an evidence base for instrument selection and a data-informed critique of regulatory reform practice. Research followed a case study strategy, gathering qualitative data through 58 in-depth semi-structured interviews, analysed using the NVIVO™ Computer Aided Qualitative Data Analysis System (CAQDAS), with senior policy makers at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, England (Defra) and senior executives in businesses and trade associations in 5 UK sectors. (1) A new typology of regulatory instruments has been compiled, validated with sector experts, refined for policy end-users, and published as part of Defra’s guidance on instrument selection. (2) The critical case of instrument selection in practice at Defra has been examined for the first time, revealing factors affecting choice, the use of coregulation to develop evidence and the importance of retaining policy maker skills for new forms of regulation. (3) A multiple-case study of senior business representatives found five strongly preferred voluntary regulation, seven expressed significant doubts about its effectiveness, and 19 expressed no general preference. While voluntary approaches were valued for flexibility and lower burdens, direct regulation offered stability and a level playing field. They sought inter alia coherent, evidence based regulatory frameworks, delivered through positive regulatory relationships. This research progresses the better and smarter regulation debate on the use of alternatives to direct regulation and has already been used to inform policy making in practice.

▼ This dissertation encompasses three chapters. The first chapter examines the effect of information disclosure policy on triggering peer effects among firms that influence their compliance decisions. The second chapter examines how environmental attitudes change with economic conditions and whether short-run changes in environmental attitudes translate into policy changes. The third chapter examines the impact of electoral votes on the distribution of ad hoc agricultural farm disaster payments in the US. There is growing policy-level interest in the use of information disclosure as a regulatory instrument to improve firms’ behavior. However, little has been done using micro-level data to investigate whether information provision may trigger peer influence among firms that that affects their compliance behavior. Using station-level inspection verification data from the Mexican gasoline market, the first chapter examines whether gas stations react to peers’ performance to adjust their own compliance decisions. The information disclosure policy assigned each inspected gas station with green, yellow, or red colors to indicate the status of compliance, minor violation, and severe violation, respectively. We find strong evidence of peer influence triggered by information spillover. The probability of being in compliance increases as the number of green peers increases. We use both municipalities and postal codes as geographic boundaries to define potential peers, and find similar results. Our findings also indicate that the magnitude of peer effects varies across municipalities: the effects appear to be greater in richer, more educated communities. A unique feature of the environment is that the consequences of its use are often difficult or impossible to reverse. This implies that short-run changes in environmental policies can result in long-run effects. In the second chapter, we estimate how environmental attitudes change with economic conditions and whether short-run changes in environmental attitudes translate into policy changes, as proxied by voting for Republicans and by changes in representatives’ voting behavior. We find that a 1% increase in a state’s unemployment rate decreases the probability of a respondent prioritizing environmental protection over economic growth by 0.21-0.67%. A 1% decrease in the mean county income decreases that probability by 0.11-0.12%. However, there is no relationship between changes in citizens’ ideology and changes in their voting patterns or the voting patterns of their congressional representatives. Overall, we show that even though respondents’ attitudes toward the environment are influenced by economic conditions, they do not immediately translate into changes in real outcomes. The third chapter examines the impact of electoral votes on the distribution of ad hoc agricultural farm disaster payments across counties from 1990 to 2008. We find evidence that parties play a significant role in determining the allocation of payments. Our results show that, when the Republican party… Advisors/Committee Members: Kirwan, Barrett E.

▼ Since the 1980's, New Zealand has undergone some large-scale economic changes – changes that have affected practically every aspect of our lives. The deregulation of the New Zealand economy was undertaken in order to allow market forces to have more control than was previously possible in a country that was well known to support very protectionist measures. Now all this has changed. Naturally this has affected New Zealand businesses, as subsidies and other measures of support have gradually been taken away. New Zealand businesses are now more at the mercy of global market forces than ever before. This economic pressure is something that New Zealand businesses of all sizes and in all industries have to contend with. The fourth Labour government imposed a free market ideology upon the country, which has been carried on by subsequent governments, both National and Labour. The high levels of support and protection are now gone. Therefore New Zealand businesses need to concentrate upon their economic well being very carefully, perhaps more so than in the past when businesses enjoyed higher levels of protection. However New Zealand is well known for its commitment to the environment, along with its commitment to the free market ideology. During the 1980's New Zealand was active at a global level in voicing its problems with French nuclear testing in the Pacific, US nuclear ships in New Zealand waters, and other environmentally based concerns. The New Zealand government had expressed a concern for environmental issues. In 1991 the Resource Management Act came into being. This act was seen by many as a revolutionary jump towards environmental protection and sustainable management of natural resources. New Zealand is also well known for its 'clean, green' image – an image that is used extensively by the tourism industry in order to entice tourists to visit New Zealand. This focus on the environment and environmental protection has brought about another pressure for New Zealand businesses. The RMA has set out rules and guidelines for businesses to follow. Therefore New Zealand businesses have to follow environmental policies. This may be detrimental to the business from a short-term economic point of view. Given the current situation within New Zealand, it is easy to see why these two pressures could be very difficult to reconcile for many businesses. The main purpose of this dissertation was to find out how both economic and environmental pressures could affect both the behaviour and the attitudes of small firms in New Zealand about the environment and environmental protection within a business framework. This dissertation sought to investigate the nature of this possible contradiction that many New Zealand businesses might face. The main aim of this dissertation was to focus on a small number of New Zealand businesses, exploring the specific environmental practices they actually carry out, and to explore whether the owners or managers of these businesses consider environmental regulation as a contradiction in the…

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered vertebrates and an iconic symbol of conservation. While progress has been made in understanding its genome, landscape ecology and anthropogenic effects on its populations, many aspects of its biology are unknown. I measured resting metabolic rate of the giant panda and compared it to metabolic rates of other large mammals. The giant panda has a thermal neutral zone that ranges from at least 9 to 26 °C. Its metabolic rate is 6.0% to 44.3% below that predicted by regressions of mass vs. metabolic rate in the literature and that may be due to its strictly herbivorous bamboo diet. These results raise questions about the universal predictive power of physiological relationships such as the metabolic theory of ecology that attempt to predict ecological relationships based on metabolism and body size without considering other variables. For these predictions to be useful and truly reflective of the study animal, basic metabolic data are needed on more large mammals and animals with varied diets, before reliable predictive theories can be formulated. I also measured the field metabolic rate of giant panda. The results showed that FMR varied between individuals despite the active time for each individual being very similar. The water-loop of the giant panda is much faster than predicted. The mean daily energy expenditure (DEE) was 21,592 KJ, (SD = 13,323) per day. That means there is enough bamboo in 1 km2 of the Wolong Reserve to provide food for 81,726 panda days. I measured the resting metabolic rate of red panda as well. There was no difference in metabolic rate between male and female red pandas. The RMR of red panda was higher in the winter than in the summer. McNab measured 2 red pandas in 1987 and found a very low metabolic rate, 0.153 ml/g/h. In my 17 red panda experiments, 0.204 ml/g/h was the lowest value that I measured. The average in summer (0.290 ml/g/h) was twice as high as McNab's mean. The red panda has a higher metabolic rate than previously measured.

▼ This study examines innovative activities of firms under environmental regulation and import competition. In particular, the first and the second chapters discuss the Porter Hypothesis, which suggests a positive link between stringent environmental regulation and firm innovation, from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The third chapter empirically investigates how import competition from low-wage countries affects firm innovation. The first chapter compares equilibria in a duopoly with substitute goods, and obtains results consistent with predictions of the Porter Hypothesis. In this chapter I show that a binding minimum environmental quality standard can promote process innovation (i.e., cost reductions) and product innovation (i.e., increased environmental quality), and increase output and profits of both firms. This happens when between-firm spillovers in process innovation are sufficiently strong. The regulation can further raise consumer surplus and alleviate pollution, when environmental damage from production is mild and the marginal cost of process innovation exceeds a certain threshold. I demonstrate that these results are robust against changes in model specifications. Thus, a key finding of this paper is that environmental quality standards can benefit firms and consumers, by correcting not only for environmental externalities but also (as a by-product) for under-investment in process innovation. The second chapter provides empirical support for the Porter Hypothesis in the context of a developing economy. In this chapter, I study the impact of a unique environmental regulatory policy called mandatory participation in Cleaner Production Audit (CPA) programs on firm innovation in China from 2001 through 2010. Using firm-level patent and CPA program enrollment data, I employ a difference-in-differences approach to examine the effect of CPA participation on Chinese listed companies, since the program’s implementation in 2005. The analysis confirms that CPA participation enhanced firm innovation proxied by patent applications. I also find that this positive impact is stronger after substantial improvements were made to the program assessment framework in 2009, in eastern regions where stringent policy implementation was combined with diversified financial incentives, and for larger companies with the resources needed to adapt to regulatory pressure. These results are robust to a variety of model specifications including models based on propensity score matching results. The third chapter explores the impact of the surge in import competition from China on innovation in the U.S. manufacturing sector during the 1990–2001 period, using firm-level patent data. It finds evidence that Chinese import competition had a positive effect on U.S. innovation, as measured by patent applications weighted by citations. This positive effect persists when we use Chinese exports to the United Kingdom as an instrument, to address potential endogeneity. This chapter also finds that firms in less technologically advanced and…

▼ In recent decades, in the backdrop of highly constrained government and public sector finances worldwide, private forms of regulation in natural resource and environmental policy have gained political and public salience: there is an increased interest in governance with government rather than governance by government. This dissertation, consisting of three essays, investigates the policy impact of bilateral voluntary agreements, one form of voluntary environmental programs, and the compliance-related decision-making processes involving regulators, corporate actors, and NGO activists that have led to them. The first essay of the dissertation examines the effectiveness of a bilateral voluntary agreement negotiated between the U.S. EPA and the pressure-treated wood industry to ban the use of a poisonous arsenic compound. Unlike earlier studies on voluntary programs, results from dynamic panel estimation and advanced time series techniques show that the voluntary agreement has lowered arsenic use in the U.S. to levels not seen since the 1920s. Moreover, a government-driven information disclosure policy – namely the EPA's Toxic Release Inventory – was effective in decreasing arsenic use, albeit to a lesser magnitude than the industry voluntary ban. Prioritizing environmental protection through financial resources, as measured by Congress-allocated dollars to the EPA, has also reaped environmental benefits. Systematic surveys of key stakeholders provide institutional, political, and economic insights into the impact estimates of the bilateral voluntary agreement on arsenic use. Policy process tracing based on the survey data shows that the pressure-treated wood industry was compelled to engage in beyond-compliance action given the existence of a poison-free substitute, market competitive pressures, and the threat of future regulation. The EPA regulators casted a shadow of public law with the credible threat of future regulation by "steering" or encouraging voluntary action and sanctioning noncompliance once the voluntary beyond compliance action had occurred. Moreover, third-party stakeholders, such as NGO activists, played an important "accountability" role by pressuring for and certifying firms' beyond compliance environmental stewardship. In the second essay, I develop a theoretical framework by building on the multiple streams framework (Kingdon, 1984) to explain the compliance-related decision-making processes and apply it to two cases of "successful" bilateral voluntary agreements in mercury and arsenic use, respectively. Specifically, to the problem, policy, and politics streams of the multiple streams framework I add an economy stream and delineate its key variables. I argue that the economy stream demarcates the roles that product substitutes, market competition, corporate social responsibility, the market changer, and the global economy play in creating incentives for businesses to partake in industry self-regulation. The market changer is a maverick business that engages in an action or a set of actions… Advisors/Committee Members: Layton, David (advisor).

▼ An increase in global trade has increased transportation related environmental externalities in urban areas. Particularly noticeable is the contribution to air quality problems due to emissions from ships, trucks, rail and other cargo handling equipment. Because local jurisdictions often lack authority over these sources, voluntary, incentive based programs have emerged as an alternative to traditional top down regulation or market based solutions. By using both quantitative and qualitative methods, this dissertation expands understanding of how voluntary programs operate. Much previous work concentrates on a single aspect of a voluntary program or a single motivation for participation. Through detailed case studies, this dissertation provides a more holistic picture of how voluntary programs work. Program design, the surrounding context and operator motivations for participation were explored as they lead to program outcomes.; Three theories to explain participation in voluntary programs, including social legitimacy, regulatory pressures and economic motivations, were investigated. The linkages between these motivations and program design were explored as they led to participation and program outcomes. Two cases were selected from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The first is the Vessel Speed Reduction program, an example of a negotiated agreement that asked vessels to slow down as they approached the coast, thereby burning less fuel and emitting fewer emissions close to shore. The second is the Cargo Handling Equipment Retrofit program, an example of a regulator designed program where the ports financed the addition of Diesel Oxidation Catalysts to Cargo Handling Equipment.; In the VSR case, it was determined that an easy program in a context of high social and regulatory pressures led to roughly a 50% reduction in emissions over an estimated business-as-usual scenario. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis show that strong social and regulatory pressures contributed to participation more than specific program incentives. In the CHE case, participation occurred because of the ease of the program and the desire to maintain good relationships with port officials. Despite almost complete participation, program outcomes were limited by the technology available. This study found that program design is a key element as programs must be simple enough to encourage participation, but effective enough to achieve environmental goals. Despite the ease of programs, risk and uncertainty must also be eliminated for voluntary efforts to work. By using a mixed methods case study approach, this dissertation provided enhanced understanding of the multiple elements that contribute to the outcomes of a voluntary program.

▼ This is a study of nature protection in an era of markets, and more broadly, a study of the historically and contextually constrained ways that people try to resolve perennial tensions between economic growth and ecological protection in modern, capitalist political-economies. The substantive focus of the study is somewhat peculiar: it is a comparative and historical analysis of the development of market-oriented ecological offsetting schemes in both the United States and in Germany. These are exchange-based systems of creating, restoring, buying, and selling units of nature used by land developers who are required to ``offset'' ecological harm caused by their building projects. In essence, ecological offsetting is a market-oriented regulatory means of ``improving'' and protecting nature in one location in order to help ``make up'' for harm to nature someplace else nearby.If ecological offsetting itself is esoteric, however, its features allow for a careful examination of contemporary efforts to transcend basic conflicts between economic development and ecological sustainability. Empirically, the case offers an opportunity to study how nature protection develops and evolves at a time when strengthening environmental regulation is politically fraught, when market-oriented policy is ascendent, and when regulatory expansions are frequently opposed by business interests and their political allies. Methodologically, it turns out that ecological offsetting itself developed in almost perfect historical parallel in the United States and in Germany and yet did so quasi-independently, that is, without substantial evidence of direct diffusion across the cases. This means that these two country cases provide an unusual opportunity to pinpoint the social-historical and political-ecological dynamics that drove the emergence of market-oriented forms of environmental protection in both countries, and that may be linked to the development of comparable institutions in a wide variety of other political and organizational contexts. At a lower-level of analysis, this comparative design also makes it possible to identify the ways that nationally distinctive contexts shaped the development of case-specific institutional features – for example, the ways that broad-based conceptions of ``nature'' in Germany lead to the development of exchanges in highly fungible units of ecology, whereas in the U.S. a focus on ``wild'' and ``sacred'' forms of nature led to exchanges in less highly fungible and more ``ecological'' units. Finally, the comparison of the two national cases also offers leverage for understanding how bureaucrats and policymakers can weave market-like exchanges directly into the administrative and regulatory fabric of modern states. In this way, an analysis of the parallel development of market-oriented ecological offsetting offers insights into how and why bureaucrats inside the state can drive ahead institutional and policy changes and how new regulatory institutions emerge and change in general, particularly in an era of…

▼ What and how we eat impact our environment, and our environment impacts how and what we eat. With public concern over reducing pollution and health care costs, policymakers often turn to economic interventions to change how consumers consume (e.g., taxes, bans, and advisory campaigns). In this dissertation, I explore the effectiveness of such policies, especially when there is debate over optimal policy design. I also examine how these interventions displace consumption in unintended ways—where the reduction of one externality causes the growth of another. Finally, I consider how these policies interact with issues of equity. Environmental and health issues often disproportionately affect poorer populations, and yet sometimes the policies designed to address environmental and health issues have unattractive distributional consequences.In this dissertation, I focus on and dissect one increasingly popular policy intervention which aims to address an environmental externality by incentivizing consumers to change how they obtain food—the regulation of disposable carryout bags (DCB). The contentious debate over these policies and their design, as well as the spatial and temporal variation in their adoption across the U.S., make them a particularly rich setting to study. The three essays of my dissertation examine DCB regulations in three distinct ways: (1) are they effective tools for changing behavior, (2) do they impose non-monetary costs on consumers, and (3) do they cause unintended consequences that undermine the benefits of the policies. The first chapter in my dissertation, "Bans vs. Fees: Disposable Carryout Bag Policies and Bag Usage," examines the importance of policy design. Having lived in both Washington, DC—which implemented a plastic and paper bag fee in 2010—and in Berkeley, CA—which implemented a plastic bag ban and paper bag fee in 2013—I wanted to know whether bag bans or bag fees were more effective in changing behavior. Bag bans are command-and-control approaches to regulate behavior directly while bag fees are market-based approaches to incentivize individuals to change their own behavior. While there is growing adoption of both types of policies in the U.S., little had been done to compare outcomes under each regulation tool. To fill this gap, I designed a field experiment taking advantage a local DCB policy change in the San Francisco Bay Area. With help from a team of undergraduate researchers, I made bi-weekly visits to a set of treated and control stores during the months before and after the DCB policy change. We observed customers during checkout and recorded the number and types of bags used, whether a bagger was present, and basic customer demographic information. With these data, we use a difference-in-differences model to measure how bag bans affect customers' demand for various types of disposable and reusable bags. We then investigate how bans and fees compare by juxtaposing our analysis with a concurrent study on bag fees in the DC Metropolitan Area. We find that both policies lead to…

Cette étude porte sur la conformité environnementale, une politique juridique au service de la performance globale de l’entreprise. Il s’agira de démontrer que les réglementations environnementales et les normes environnementales volontaires auxquelles tentent de se conformer les entreprises et les États, peuvent améliorer à la fois leur protection de l’environnement, leur compétitivité, et dans une certaine mesure leur performance sociale. Cette conformité environnementale a pris un essor particulier depuis les grands phénomènes économiques induits par la mondialisation. La mondialisation se caractérise depuis les années 1970 par l’avènement d’une économie de marché ouverte dans laquelle les entreprises circulent librement d’un pays à un autre. Cette économie repose notamment sur le libre-échange des biens, des services, des technologies, des capitaux, ainsi que sur libre circulation des entreprises elles-mêmes. La mondialisation se caractérise également, du fait de l’ouverture de cette économie, par la mise en concurrence des États et des entreprises à l’échelle internationale. Ce phénomène économique de la mondialisation a toutefois entraîné une dégradation majeure de l’environnement au fil des années. Afin de répondre à ces différents enjeux, les États ont mis en place des mécanismes réglementaires ainsi que des mécanismes volontaires de protection de l’environnement destinés à encadrer les activités des entreprises, qui forment le socle de la politique juridique de conformité environnementale menée par ces entreprises. Les entreprises tentent alors de s’adapter à ces mécanismes juridiques afin de mieux protéger l’environnement, mais aussi afin de devenir plus compétitives.

The aim of the thesis consists of wondering how companies lead their legal politics to get a global performance. In other words, it will be advisable to demonstrate that environmental regulations and voluntary environmental standards which companies and States try to conform, can improve at the same time their environmental protection, their competitiveness, and to a lesser extent their social performance. This environmental compliance has taken a particular development since the big economic phenomena led by the globalization. The globalization is characterized since the 1970s by the advent of an opened market economy in which companies circulate freely from a country to another. This economy is particularly based on free trade of properties, services, technologies, capital, as well as on free circulation of companies themselves. But globalization had led to a serious environmental degradation. In order to meet these challenges as operationally as possible, countries have put regulations and voluntary standards with a view to regulating firms’ activities, that form the basis of a environmental compliance legal policy undertaken by these companies. These companies are trying to adapt to those legal mechanisms in order to better protect the environment, but also to become more competitive.

▼ The waters of Maui County are essential to the economic livelihood of Maui County???s residents. In addition to sustenance value, annual revenue from international tourism and marine activities along the coastlines of Maui County keeps the island's economy afloat. Ironically, it is this revenue that may lead to the demise of Maui???s coral reef ecosystems and booming tourism industry. Overuse of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), due to their appeal as aesthetically vivid, conservation districts, has potential to degrade the very systems that the MPAs are intended to protect. Maui Counties MPAs are exploited as ideal snorkel and dive destinations and potentially used to a higher degree than non-conserved areas and therefore are more prone to degradation than areas with no protected status. Marine ecotourism activities have been previously indicated as factors involved in coral reef degradation. Here, I attempted to establish whether or not there was a notable decline in benthic substrate biodiversity in the MPA-managed areas of Maui County relative to that of non-conserved areas. Based on biodiversity indices, I hypothesized that there would be lower benthic biodiversity at MPA sites (designated as ???conserved???) relative to those sites with no such designations, within the boundaries of Maui County. It was my prediction that because of the high use of these marine protected areas, relative to control areas, a more-degraded, less-diverse substrate would be described in the MPAs of Maui County despite their designation as conservation districts. Photographic quadrats of benthic organisms and substrate from four tourist-accessible conservation sites and eight biogeographically similar controls were quantified and assessed through the use of biodiversity indices at two depth ranges. Using MANOVAs of Shannon diversity indices, Species Richness and percent cover, I found significantly lower biodiversity indices in MPAs relative to control areas. These results were consistent throughout the three assessed biodiversity indices in both site by site comparisons and an overall comparison of all MPA data points compared to all control data points. Given the lengthy establishment of MPAs in Maui County and the importance of marine preservation for the aesthetics, economy and biology of Maui county, these results suggest the need for change in the level of MPA usage and regulation of that usage.

O objetivo do presente estudo é verificar como o MERCOSUL vem tratando sua política ambiental, empreendendo uma análise a partir de três modelos estratégicos de regulação aplicáveis a zonas de integração econômica: concorrência regulatória, harmonização e cooperação, que é, em verdade, uma fórmula híbrida com algumas vantagens em relação aos outros dois. Ressalte-se, desde logo, que são poucos os estudos sobre regulação ambiental no MERCOSUL, o que confere importância à pesquisa, mormente se considerada sua abordagem original a partir de modelos estratégicos de regulação ambiental. O método de abordagem utilizado é o dedutivo, partindo-se de modelos abstratos com o escopo de verificar a adequação do MERCOSUL a eles. A pesquisa apontou que o bloco em apreço possui um Acordo-Quadro em matéria ambiental com traços bem característicos de um modelo cooperativo. Todavia, o contexto fático que se seguiu ao acordo não permitiu identificar maiores características dessa estratégia de regulação, o que levou a concluir que, de fato, há no MERCOSUL uma concorrência regulatória em matéria ambiental. Assim, devido às críticas empreendidas à concorrência regulatória, conclui-se que o modelo não é totalmente eficaz para a promoção de uma política ambiental efetiva, bem como para o avanço do processo integracionista. Ao final, são expostas algumas contribuições visando ao aperfeiçoamento da política ambiental mercosulina.

The aim of this study is to analyze how the MERCOSUR deals with its environmental policy, based on three regulatory models applicable to economic integration areas: regulatory competition, harmonization and cooperation, which is, in fact, a hybrid formula with some advantages if compared with the two others. There are few studies on environmental regulation in MERCOSUR, a fact that shows the importance of this research, especially when taking into account its original approach based on regulatory models for the environmental. The research relies on the deductive method, starting from the abstract models with the scope of verifying the adequacy of MERCOSUR to them. The study showed that the trade bloc in question has adopted an Environmental Agreement, which has characteristics of a cooperative model. However, in the factual context that followed the agreement, it was not possible to identify major features of this regulatory model. Therefore, it can be concluded that, in fact, there is a regulatory competition in the MERCOSUR’s environmental policy. Thus, considering regulatory competition critiques, this study concludes that the model adopted by MERCOSUR is not fully effective for the promotion of an efficient environmental policy, as well as to advance in the integration process. Finally, some propositions are made focusing on the optimization of MERCOSUR’s environmental policy.

Le 1er Juin 2007 l’union européenne met en place REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals), un des règlements les plus ambitieux jamais mis en place au niveau européen. Cette réglementation introduit une nouvelle philosophie dans la manière de concevoir la protection environnementale et sanitaire. Selon le préambule du règlement, l’objectif de REACH consiste « à assurer un niveau élevé de protection de la santé humaine et de l’environnement, tout en améliorant la compétitivité et l’innovation ». Aussi, le règlement vise à concilier des enjeux à priori antagonistes, grâce aux innovations environnementales qu’il induirait. En ce sens, REACH apparaît comme un objet d’étude privilégié pour analyser les effets d’une réglementation environnementale sur les stratégies d’innovations des entreprises. Dans cette perspective, nous étudierons les mécanismes du règlement REACH qui sont susceptibles de favoriser le développement des innovations environnementales. A travers une étude empirique originale réalisée auprès des entreprises en région PACA, nous déterminerons, d’une part, les mécanismes qui favorisent de nouvelles opportunités technologiques et commerciales dans le domaine de l’environnement et de la santé, et, d’autre part, ceux qui stimulent une demande de qualité environnementale. Enfin nous analyserons l’influence des attributs de la réglementation REACH sur la dynamique technologique et industrielle à partir d’un modèle multi-Agent. Ce cadre de modélisation s’avère particulièrement pertinent pour tenir compte du caractère stochastique et complexe des processus qui gouvernent les stratégies d’innovations des agents soumis à la pression de la réglementation REACH.

On 1 June 2007 the European Union set up REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation of Chemicals), one of the most ambitious regulations. This regulation establishes a new philosophy of how to design environmental protection and health. According to the preamble to the Regulation, the objective of REACH is "to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment while enhancing competitiveness and innovation." REACH has been designed to balance environmental objectives with competitiveness aims, and has the scope to induce the adoption of eco-Innovation as a side effect of the regulation itself. For this reasons, REACH appears as a privileged object of study to analyse the effects of environmental regulation on the innovation. In this regard, we analyse the innovation-Friendly mechanisms of REACH to promote the development of environmental innovations. From an unique original survey on REACH regulation, we study, one the hand, mechanisms to promote new opportunities in the field of environment and health, and, the other hand, those that stimulate demand for environmental quality. Finally, we analyse the impact of the attributes of the REACH regulation on technological and industrial dynamics from an agent-Based model (ABM). The ABM provide a powerful tool for exploring such complex and stochastic systems as…

▼ The Washington shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework is a complex instrument with numerous permits and high agency involvement. Shellfish business owners, industry officials and policy-makers look to simplify the overall process by reducing paperwork and permit redundancies. In the past, the Washington aquaculture sector held a close relationship with the Washington Department of Agriculture, and policy-makers are again assessing a closer future relationship, aiding in regulatory efficiency. The purpose of this study is to locate sources of inefficiency within the shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework and supply new ideas for future policy-making based on an aquaculture regulatory framework proposed by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). There are four main objectives to this study. The first is to identify barriers within the regulatory framework from the federal scale to the county level restricting the Washington shellfish industry. Through scientific and governmental literature reviews, and information from conference attendance, these barriers are identified. The second objective is to showcase current programs addressing regulatory barriers in aquaculture. Current programs are the Shellfish Interagency Permitting Team, the Pacific Aquaculture Caucus, and the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association. The third objective is to compare the regulatory framework for aquaculture based on the Washington agriculture framework. I used the Washington agriculture program as a template to assess how aquaculture can meet the regulatory goals set forth by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). The Florida Aquaculture program, which is a combined Aquaculture-Agriculture regulatory department, is used to illustrate a closer relationship between the two divisions. The final objective is to assess the future of Washington aquaculture based on information provided through the first three objectives. Preliminary recommendations for the Washington regulatory framework are to shift regulatory work to county level officials, limit the number of government agencies involved, reduce review periods, and increase regulatory transparency on county and state levels.

▼ Hundreds of thousands of organizations have chosen to boost their competitive position by demonstrating compliance to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard. In order for these standards to become credible policy options, they must ensure the capacity to build an industrial morality and to institutionalize responsibility. Relying on a series of in-depth interviews with environmental auditors, this dissertation contributes to a deeper empirical understanding of these regulatory instruments by, first, exploring how the adoption of an EMS promotes self-regulatory capacity and contributes toward effective environmental protection, and second, discussing the limitations of its accountability structure and the threats to the credibility of the standard. This project highlights several misconceptions associated with the role of ISO 14001, and explains why both public and private sectors hold conflicting and inappropriate expectations regarding the certification process. According to the environmental auditors interviewed, the standard has helped thousands of committed organizations to effectively improve their self-regulatory capacity as well as their environmental performance. Yet, organizations with no intrinsic motivation can take advantage of the flexibility granted by the standard and the limitations of the conformity assessment process, to obtain an empty environmental certificate. ISO 14001 is a process standard that can help both â environmental leaders and laggardsâ , but that cannot differentiate organizations based on their level of environmental performance. Because of that, ISO 14001 is increasingly perceived as a socially unacceptable certification system. This project concludes that ISO 14001 is a double edge regulatory instrument that aims both to foster self-regulatory powers, and to act as a market signaling agent. The problem lies in the fact that these two facets of the standard are actually detrimental to each other, perpetuating a cycle that contributes to the discredit of the standard and of the auditing community. In the future, ISO 14001 needs to adjust its non-prescriptive nature and its accountability mechanism, to the character of the organizations seeking certification. In alternative, a new generation of certification programs is emerging, building upon the ISO 14001 standard with an extra layer of requirements, and with a more meaningful role for the environmental auditor.

A network of 53 Irish raised bogs were designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the European Union (EU) Habitats Directive in the 1990s. Whilst the purpose of the designation is to protect unique habitats, another effect has been to prohibit the traditional right to cut turf. Protected area regulation has been highly contested by the Turf Cutters and Contractors Association (TCCA). Under threat of sanction for non-compliance, the Irish State established a collaborative process for implementation in 2011. This research has adopted a political ecological approach to examine power-knowledge relations between stakeholders in the construction of legitimacy through the collaborative process. Foucauldian governmentality underpinned the methodological approach. In the first article, critical discourse analysis was adopted to deconstruct the tensions between participatory and scientific legitimacy in policies and governance structures, and in their contestation by the TCCA. In the second and third articles, Q Methodology was adopted to analyse turf cutters and expert legitimacy discourses respectively. The quantitative results revealed the convergence and divergence of legitimacy discourses on regulation which were interpreted with the support of the interview data. The exclusion of local knowledge fuelled contestation and resistance. The articulation of counterclaims reflects previous research and were based not simply in rhetoric, but also on place-based knowledge (e.g. Robbins et al., 2006). The empirical analysis revealed how the TCCA disrupted the regulatory authority of the State and how the technocratic approach undermined scientific legitimacy for implementation. The findings indicate the power of the State in determining power-knowledge and structural relations. This was evident in the discursive alliance reflecting the technocratic approach, cost-effectiveness and agricultural priorities, over a more equitable site-specific approach to conservation and compensation. Overall the findings indicate the need to transition to a more adaptive site-specific approach.

Europos Sąjungos formuojamos politikos įtaka suvaidino nemažą teigiamą vaidmenį kuriant efektyvų valstybės vaidmenį ir formuojant šalies ekonominę politiką. Tačiau esama atvejų, kai Europos Sąjungos institucijos diktuoja valstybėms narėms ir kandidatėms vienus ar kitus sprendimus – sprendimus, nebūtinai atitinkančius tų valstybių interesus. Šio darbo tikslas - ištirti Europos Sąjungos ir Lietuvos aplinkos apsaugos reguliavimo politikos harmonizavimą, remiantis Europos aplinkos agentūros poveikio analize. Tikslui pasiekti buvo atsižvelgiama į Europos Sąjungos reguliavimo agentūrų veiklos funkcionavimo ypatumus, pagrindinius Europos Sąjungos aplinkos apsaugos ir Lietuvos Respublikos aplinkosaugos veiklos prioritetus bei analizuojamas Europos aplinkos agentūros vaidmuo harmonizuojant Lietuvos aplinkos apsaugos politiką. Apibendrinus darbo rezultatus, galima teigti, kad reguliavimo agentūrų veikla yra labai svarbi ir naudinga veiksmingam Europos Sąjungos funkcionavimui. Nacionaliniai valstybių narių skirtumai gali būti šalinami pasitelkiant labiausiai tinkamą reguliavimo politikos metodą. Europos Sąjungos aplinkos apsaugos politika grindžiama nuostata, kad aukšti aplinkosaugos standartai skatina inovacijas, atveria verslo galimybes, prisideda prie ekonominio augimo skatinimo. Lietuvos valstybei tapus Europos Sąjungos nare, nemažas dėmesys buvo skiriamas rengiamų įstatymų ir kitų teisės aktų projektų harmonizavimui, atsižvelgiant į Europos Sąjungos direktyvose patvirtintų nuostatų...

Policies being formed by the European Union have had a significant positive influence in developing an effective role of the state and forming economical policy of the country. However, there are cases when institutions of the European Union dictate certain decisions to the member and candidate states, and those decisions do not necessarily serve best interests of the states. Aim of this paper - is to analyze impact of the European Union and Lithuanian state environmental sector regulatory policy harmonization, using a case study of The European Environment Agency analysis. To reach the goal has been taken account European Union regulatory agencies' functioning characteristics, the main environmental priorities of the European Union and those of the Republic of Lithuania, and analyzing European Environment Agency's role in harmonizing Lithuanian environmental policy. Summarizing the results of the paper, it can be asserted that regulatory agencies are very important and useful for the efficient functioning of the European Union. National differences of member states can be eliminated by invoking the most proper method of regulatory policy. Environmental policy of the European Union is based on attitude that high environmental standards promote innovations, open business opportunities and further economical growth. When Lithuania joined the European Union, significant consideration was given to harmonizing new laws and projects of other legal acts with the guidelines expressed... [to full text]
