Critics Review

“As The New Environmental Regulation makes clear, it’s high time for a refined and improved approach to environmental protection. Dan Fiorino blazes a path toward the future, showing how we might diversify our policy tools, focus on performance, build in flexibility, and engage the business world.”–Daniel C. Esty, Hillhouse Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, Yale University “This is one of the most important books on U.S. environmental policy to appear in the past twenty years. Fiorino offers a convincing analysis of its strengths and weaknesses and points the way towards a new style of regulation appropriate to the challenges of the twenty-first century.”–James Meadowcroft, Canada Research Chair in Governance for Sustainable Development, Carleton University, Canada
