Synopsis

The book is based on papers given at the final workshop of a research project into the evolution of environmental regulation in Poland undertaken as part of the UKs ERSC Global Environmental Change Programme. Other invited papers focused on the development of regulatory policy in transforming economies and in the UK. These included contributions from the World Bank, Greenpeace, Polish technical consultancies, The London School of Economics and the Department of Peace Studies, Bradford University. The book highlights the weakness of internal political processes in Poland and the important role played by foreign sponsored pressures. An enormous divergence was found between the way in which environmental charges are supposed to operate and the ways in which they are implemented and enforced. Topics covered include the links between privatisation and the environment, the saline water problem in Upper Silesia, enforcement of and compliance with environmental charges, air pollution in Krakow and the structure of the Polish environmental administration system.
