Regulation Theory and
Sustainable Development

This book argues that current economic theories do not take into account the socially constructed nature of the debate surrounding the environment and environmental policy. It examines whether proposed economic solutions to environmental policy are, in fact, viable in practice.

The book demonstrates that social conflicts cause policy compromises, which shape the economic system of a post-industrial ecological society. The author offers an innovative socio-economic theory of environmental politics, which illuminates the transformation dynamics brought about by the ecological crisis.

Regulation Theory and Sustainable Development will be of interest to students and scholars of environmental politics, policy and governance.

Corinne Gendron is Professor in the Department of Strategy, Social and Environmental Responsibility at the University of Quebec in Montreal, Canada, and Head of its Research Center in Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development (CRSDD).

Environmental Politics/Routledge Research in
Environmental Politics

Edited by Matthew Paterson, University of Ottawa

Over recent years environmental politics has moved from a peripheral interest to a central concern within the discipline of politics. This series aims to reinforce this trend through the publication of books that investigate the nature of contemporary environmental politics and show the centrality of environmental politics to the study of politics per se. The series understands politics in a broad sense and books will focus on mainstream issues such as the policy process and new social movements as well as emerging areas such as cultural politics and political economy. Books in the series will analyse contemporary political practices with regard to the environment and/or explore possible future directions for the greening of contemporary politics. The series will not only be of interest to academics and students working in the environmental field, but will also demand to be read within the broader discipline.

The series consists of two strands:
