’This path-breaking book, written by three well known experts, makes an extremely valuable contribution to the study of ''new'' environmental policy instruments as well as to much wider theoretical debates about governance, policy innovation, learning and transfer. Drawing on an unrivaled comparative empirical study of five different jurisdictions, it manages to make many new points about issues that many of us thought had already been settled.’
