Hey All, As part of the Asian Development Bank project I mentioned before, I've been asked to write a short case study on the evolution of subsidiarity in the EU -- in particular, recounting the history of how environmental protection in the EU evolved from a system with a relatively weak center and strong affiliated states (some of which had quite low environmental protection standards and/or practices) to one where a stronger center ensures pretty good compliance with directives and regulations in Member States. Was this achieved primarily through ECJ decisions, conditional funding, threats of other sanctions, membership requirements, etc.?
This is a long way of asking whether any of you could refer me to good articles on the development of subsidiarity policies in the environmental field. thanks, jim <>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<> Jim Salzman Samuel Fox Mordecai Professor of Law Nicholas Institute Professor of Environmental Policy Duke University P.O.
