Weibust, Inger Cluster Member
Inger Weibust’s research examines the interplay between governance and public policy, and particularly regulation. Is it possible to create institutions to carry out policy functions previously or usually performed by national governments? Her book Green Leviathans (Ashgate Publishers, 2009) looks at cooperation on environmental regulation between states/provinces and within federations. Dr. Weibust’s findings show that even with favourable conditions, cooperative approaches have largely been ineffective in comparison with national legislation or European Union level regulation.
