Classical Liberalism and the Case for Polycentric Environmental Law

This seminar challenges contemporary theories that favour an extension of state regulation, arguing instead for a framework that facilitates market-like processes of competitive spontaneous order.


This seminar challenges contemporary theories that favour an extension of state regulation in order to address the transboundary nature of environmental goods. It argues that problems arising from the complexity of socio-ecological processes, the collective nature of environmental goods and the distributive consequences of environmental protection are unlikely to met by approaches that seek greater 'unity' in decisions. Rather, the principle of ecological rationality is more likely to be met within a framework that facilitates market-like processes of competitive spontaneous order at multiple different levels
