Change and continuity in UK industrial pollution regulation : integrated pollution controlSmith, Adrian Paul January 1996 (has links)
This dissertation studies the policy process which produced and implemented the Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) system in 1990, administered by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Pollution (HMIP). It assesses how IPC was implemented in terms of setting pollution control standards, hQWIPC compares with the air pollution regime it replaced, and in terms of IPC's policy output. Policy network concepts are used to analyse the networks of interaction between policy actors as they seek to influence the policy process. The research involved interviews with these policy actors, plus analysis of relevant documentation - including a content analysis of the new IPC public register. The analysis is presented historically, beginning with the policy network of regulator and industry which negotiated air pollution controls. Public interest groups criticised this regime in the early 1970s for the informal, consensual, and confidential way it set and enforced air pollution standards. During the 1980s, European legislation put pressure upon domestic pollution control practice. Industry began lobbying for improvements to the flexible British regime as a bulwark against European formalism. Several factors led to HMJP's creation and IPC introduction, including European and industrial pressures, but also a belief by government that change had deregulatory potential. Regulatory procedures under IPC are more transparent and formal. However, standard setting was at HMIP's discretion, to be exercised during IPC implementation. HMIP initially intended to break from the past and do this at arms'length from industry. Analysis of this implementation stage uses the organic chemicals sector for case study. It explains why IPC has suffered an 'implementation deficit' compared to HMIP's initial intentions. Moreover, improvements to industrial pollution control are negotiated in a policy network similar to its air pollution predecessor. It is argued that within the formal legal framework, persists an infonnal, consensual, and somewhat opaque pollution regime.

The Influence of Non-state Actors on International Environmental PolicyHay, Zowie Natasha 2010 December 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the sources and consequences of non-state actor
influence in international environmental policymaking. I argue that non-state variables
inside of a country, such as the strength of environmental non-governmental
organizations (ENGOs), public attitudes towards the environment, and the level of interpersonal
trust between citizens, can act as important determinants of state actions in the
international environmental policymaking realm.
The empirical analyses of these propositions provide the main bulk of this
project. My first empirical chapter tests the hypothesis that the strength of domestic nongovernmental
organizations can affect the likelihood of a country participating in
international environmental agreements, and finds that countries with more ENGOs are
party to more international environmental agreements than countries with fewer ENGOs.
My second empirical chapter examines the impact of public opinion on the treaty
ratification behavior of a country, and finds that the greater the level of public support
for the use of international environmental agreements to address environmental problems, the faster a country ratifies the Kyoto Protocol. My final empirical chapter
demonstrates how levels of inter-personal trust between citizens can impact the extent to
which a state complies with its environmental treaty obligations, and shows that higher
levels of trust are linked to higher rates of compliance with environmental treaties, but
that this effect is mediated by the degree of ethnic diversity within a country.
Given the significance of my findings, I conclude with the argument that nonstate
actors are able to influence the participation, ratification and compliance behavior
of states in international environmental policymaking arena.
