Abstract
To what extent can we hope to secure effective democratic control in environmental policy? This issue can be unpacked into two more precise questions. The first is a ‘macro’ one: can any more effective shaping of environmental policy be undertaken by democratic means in contemporary liberal capitalist societies? The second question is more ‘micro’, and contingent on some degree of affirmative answer to the first: can the choice of environmental policy instruments affect the prospects for democratic control? In keeping with the focus of this collection, I shall approach the second question through reference to regulatory and quasi-market orientations to anti-pollution policy.
