Despite this world-wide effort to achieve a better  environmental performance through voluntary approaches, economic  analysis has somehow neglected the importance of voluntary approaches  as an environmental policy instrument. This book is a first attempt to  fill this gap by gathering together all major experts in the fields  and by providing a detailed analysis of all main aspects  characterising the design and implementation of voluntary approaches  in environmental policy. The book, which is the outcome of cooperation  between the École des Mines of Paris and the Fondazione ENI E.  Mattei, within the EU Concerted Action on Market Based Policy  Instruments for Environmental Protection, contains both theoretical  analyses and case studies. The chapters of this book therefore provide  a useful assessment of the main features and of the potential  implementation problems of a new, important and promising  environmental policy instrument.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFrançois Lévêque\u003c\/em\u003e is professor of Law and Economics at the Ecole des mines de Paris.
