Summary

In this insightful edited collection, major scholars in the field of environmental law and public policy analyze the credibility in environmental and natural resource regulation. The contributions to this volume show how this crisis may, in fact, be traced directly to regulators themselves. Ranging from climate change to endangered species protection and traditional health-based environmental regulation, each chapter covers a variety of natural resource and regulatory areas. The contributors show how legal and regulatory institutions have themselves influenced the process by which science is produced and verified, high-lighting an inevitable difference between the political or legal demand for regulatory action and the actual state of evolving scientific knowledge. Institutions and Incentives in Regulatory Science gives concrete suggestions for how regulatory institutions should be reformed to restore the credibility of science-based regulation. Book jacket.
