'This book makes an important contribution, from a variety of perspectives, to the developing debate on environmental governance...It will be of particular interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners concerned with establishing new governance structures for sustainable development, as well as - more generally - to students of EU policy implementation.' Dr David Wilkinson, Institute for European Environmental Policy, London, UK 'This book makes it possible to get a good idea of the implementation of the different environmental management systems EMAS and ISO 14001 in different EU countries and of their strengths and weaknesses...the structure and content of the book is well-balanced...this book can definitely be recommended for whoever is interested in the development, evolution and application of environmental management systems.'
