Environmental and technology policy in europetechnological innovation and policy integration

The book contains six studies of environmental and environment-oriented technology policy in several EU member states (Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and the extent of inter-policy co-ordination and integration that has been achieved. The six national studies are sandwiched between an introductory and a concluding chapter. The national studieshave been conducted as part of the EU research project, "Towards an Integration of Environmental and Ecology-Oriented Technology Policy: Stimulus and Response in Environment Related Innovation Networks" (in short: ENVINNO), which wascarried out, between 1998 and 2001, by research teams from the six countries.In the introductory chapter the issue of 'environmental integration' within the European Union is also addressed, while the final chapter contains a synthesis of the characteristic elements of the six national studies that sheds light on a European framework of environment-oriented innovation stimulation.
