'This is an impressive book, edited and written by many leading colleagues in the field internationally. It reflects upon the wide variety of policy instruments governments nowadays have at their disposal to develop and implement environmental, energy, climate and sustainability policies. Their work shows that many governments still have not managed to get their act together on this. This volume will therefore be a beacon of light in the dark.'--Kurt Deketelaere, KU Leuven, Belgium'In this important volume, the editors - Kenneth Richards and Josephine van Zeben - have assembled an impressive set of entries that provide a remarkably comprehensive description and assessment of the diverse set of policy instruments which can be used by governments to achieve their environmental objectives in the face of market failures.'--Robert N. Stavins, Harvard University, US
