In the past there was hardly any use of economic instruments in environmental policy, mainly command & control measures were used. More recently, ecological taxes as well as tradable permits became more popular & voluntary agreements have been implemented. Using the Public Choice approach we ask for the reasons of this wider acceptance of economic instruments. We conclude that the use of market-based instruments in environmental policy has not increased very much & their impact on the actual situation is still rather low, but there is hope of at least some increase in the future. 1 Table, 86 References.

"Gesundheitsförderliche öffentliche Politik kann in 'klassischen' Politikfeldern - wie Arbeitsschutz, Wohnungsbau, Verkehr - erfolgen, aber auch in neuen Bereichen, wie Umweltgerechtigkeit. Diese befasst sich mit sozialräumlichen Verteilungen - speziell sozial diskriminierenden Ungleichverteilungen - von Umweltbelastungen, den Ursachen und Wirkungen solcher Verteilungsmuster, Möglichkeiten ihrer Vermeidung, Behebung und Kompensation. Nicht nur in den USA wird Umweltgerechtigkeit seit langem thematisiert. So hat die schottische Regierung 2002 Umweltgerechtigkeit zum politischen Ziel erklärt, Bestandsaufnahmen und Umsetzungsmaßnahmen eingeleitet und einen ersten Sachstandsbericht Ende 2005 vorgelegt. Dieser Aufsatz skizziert Vorgeschichte und Hintergründe der schottischen Umweltgerechtigkeitspolitik, stellt den dortigen Kenntnisstand zu sozialer, gesundheitlicher und Umwelt-Ungleichheit sowie die Politikansätze zu Umweltgerechtigkeit dar und versucht eine Bewertung. Zum Schluss wird auf die Relevanz für die BRD eingegangen." (Autorenreferat)

Early in its development, political science established itself as part of modern secular authority, with something to say about government & politics. This achievement did not, though, lead to much noticeable impact on governance & policy, with the exception of administrative reforms. The past five decades have witnessed impressive growth in influence, as political science self-confidently embraced an idea-driven policy science. Political behaviorism, fashioned as a response to the loss of Enlightenment naivete, was a political as well as a science project, & its successes, on both fronts, drew many to a new type of policy science. A leading example is neoconservatism, whose practitioner political scientists linked new political ideas with applied social science as a basis for challenging assumptions of the regulatory welfare state. By the end of the twentieth century, political science had returned to its earliest mission(s) -- building a better science & strengthening democratic practice. 23 References.

This paper examines the gap between seeming progressive public demand for cleaner environment and lagging policy responses of the government. Public attitude toward environmental protection has been analyzed along with four different categories of environmental conflict and problems. There are diverse inconsistency and discrepancy between public attitudes and their behaviors. Key policy outputs are reviewed with special emphasis on environmental investment. Several factors that may explain the passive and conservative government move toward environmental protection have been identified. Those include, inactive public pressure on the government and the industry, ineffective mechanism for transforming people's demand into government decision, the ideology of developmentalism in the policymaking circle, weak local politics and administration, and oligopolitic industrial structure.

AbstractAs much as environmental problems manifest themselves as problems with the natural environment, environmental problems—and their solutions—are ultimately social and behavioral in nature. Just as the natural sciences provide a basis for understanding the need for environmental policy and informing its design, the social sciences also contribute in significant ways to the understanding of the behavioral sources of environmental problems, both in terms of individual incentives and collective action challenges. In addition, the social sciences have contributed much to the understanding of the ways that laws and other institutions can be designed to solve environmental problems. In this review article, we distill core intellectual frameworks from among the social sciences that scaffold modern environmental policy in industrialized country contexts—focusing on key contributions principally from political science, economics, psychology, and sociology to the analysis of environmental problems and their solutions. These frameworks underlie how environmental problems are defined at multiple scales and the conceptualization and empirical testing of policy solutions that seek to shape human behavior in ways that improve environmental quality and promote sustainable economic growth. With the planet facing continued environmental threats, improving environmental policy decision‐making depends on the insights and frameworks of social science research in addition to those of the natural sciences.
