The perspective adopted also includes the pre-transition  period, since the transformation process cannot be understood without  reference to the preceding period. The book investigates the driving  forces underlying policy changes, both prior to and after the  transition, and identifies elements both of change and continuity  - topics that have hitherto been neglected in the literature.  \u003cbr\u003e  A change of political system in Poland did not lead to a major change  in the thrust of environmental policy: the policy makers adopted a  cautious approach to new instruments and institutions during the  transition period. What did change with the transition was the  implementation aspect: the effectiveness of environmental policy  increased dramatically after the abolition of socialism. The rule of  law meant that the state administration and the polluters were  subordinated to the legal system, thus increasing the power to  environmental policy. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership\u003c\/em\u003e: Researchers and students interested in the  environment and the countries in transition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401059268\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4517-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 225\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359160660108,"sku":"9789401059268","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401059268.jpg?v=1775735094","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401059268","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
