- Summary:
-
"The failure of many environmental technologies in advanced industrial countries has puzzled scholars and policymakers for decades. Even traditional government policies, such as the implementation of market-oriented developmental programs, "pick-the-winner" industrial policies, or the encouragement of public-private partnerships, have never worked. Would any other policies render renewable energy, waste recycling, and clean fuel auto technology more indispensable to our daily life than the traditional resources and methods? Do institutions really matter? This book explores the role of institutions in policymaking, concluding that it is all about "the art of tweaking institutions.""--BOOK JACKET.
