Environmental Policy-Making in Britain, Germany and the European Union: The Europeanisation of Air and Water Pollution Control

European environmental policy has become an increasingly important area of EU policymaking and the source of political conflict between Britain and Germany. This book explains why national conflicts have arisen and how they are resolved at EU level. Rudiger K. Wurzel argues that Anglo-German divergences are best explained in terms of ecological vulnerability, economic cost and capacity, political salience, and environmental regulatory styles.
