The paper examines how the process of European integration influences the development of Polish environmental policy. One of the Nitrate Directive's objectives is to reduce nitrate emissions from agricultural sources to groundwater and surface water. The implementation of all the Directive's requirements is a difficult task therefore, it should be expected that most of the accession countries will have problems with establishing efficient measures to protect water resources. It is especially true for Poland, as agriculture is the main source of income for over 11% of the country's population. The process of implementing the Nitrate Directive in Poland is a good example of how European integration influences the development of environmental policy in the accession countries. When the European Treaty between Poland and the EU came into force, on 1st February 1994, it became clear that Poland's activities would be aimed at joining the EU. The process of creating an appropriate institutional structure was launched to facilitate Polish accession to the EU and a special procedure was adopted to ensure compliance of new legal regulations with the requirements of EU legislation. This paper tries to answer the following questions: What is the role of Europeanization in the development of Polish ecological policy? How does the process influence administration as well as environmental policy objectives? Is Poland prepared to follow the present and future EU environmental policy objectives?

Dynamic changes of all components of social development are a feature of Ukraine and most of the world. In this connection, the mechanism of implementation of the state environmental policy needs constant improvement and development. In the context of the improvement of the economic mechanism is urgent to study the experience of countries that have similar problems of implementation of economic mechanisms: post-socialist economy, the implementation of market reforms and integration into the European Union. The structure and the problem of the economic mechanism of environmental policy of Albania and Ukraine are analyzed. Promising ways of improving the economic mechanism of implementation of environmental policies of Ukraine are offered, such as ecological taxes for production, transport taxes.

The aim of this article is to give an overview of global environmental problems, outline the ways in which countries and people have tried to solve them and present some of the most important aspects of global environmental policy as part of its development. The influence that international relations scholars and global environmental policy scientists can have on policy-makers is also solved, with a primary focus on diffuse influence. Political and scientific measures and international regimes that have tried to solve certain environmental problems or tried to find a compromise between these measures are also mentioned.

The selecting tools of the environmental policy have been an open question at resolving of the environment protection issues. The main reason was, that the financial and the economic dimensions, but also the environmental efficiency of their application differ significantly. The direct tools (as opposed to indirect tools) of the environmental policy are considered to be environmentally more efficient and more often checked. Lower economic effectiveness of the financial resources is the main disadvantage of the direct tools of environmental policy. On the other hand, increasing economic effectiveness of the direct tools is determined by stimulative function. The article focuses at theoretical basis on environmental payments applications - their typologies, functionality and constraints in providing economic effectiveness and environmental efficiency.

The offensive of neoliberal theory and practice has clearly weakened since the structural crisis of Western capitalism. Neoliberal dogma has nothing to offer a precarized society, science, education, politics and above all a mundane civilization threatened by environmental risks. This will be the task of an environmental policy that uses the insights of political economy and political ecology. Political economy can take a step beyond mere criticism. Beyond critique lies utopianism: a concept of transformation that overcomes the logic of critique, protest, alternative (revolutionary prognostic) thinking and hope, and brings about the cultivation of new dimensions of humanity’s economic self-reproduction. Here begins the genesis of a higher form of political economy and political philosophy – environmental political philosophy. The present study develops the central method of environmental political philosophy: the method of political-economic utopianism independent of the classical subject of economics and concentrated on the basic assumptions of the economic theory of politics, i.e. on the initial ontological postulates, on epistemological postulates, on social-scientific knowledge with emphasis on research on political theories, and on natural-scientific knowledge with emphasis on environmental issues (in the case of Anthropocene).

Important tools of the current environmental policy are economic (market) instruments - i.e. fees, taxes and tradable permits. However, the design of such instruments should be done in a way to enable the evaluation of their environmental efficiency and economic effectiveness. The evaluation is rarely done in post-communist countries, where market instruments have a short history. The paper introduce the 3E method of the evaluation used by OECD and shows the results gained for the market instrument used in the Czech Republic with the focus on air pollution fees.

In late 2005 Czech authorities first began to discover substantial amounts of municipal waste illegally transported from Germany to the Czech Republic. The dumping of more than 30 000 tonnes of German waste in 'black dumps' throughout the Bohemian countryside raised social, economic, and political questions about how to mitigate the negative human health and environmental impacts and prevent dumping in the future. In addition to prompting practical policy questions, the situation challenges sociologists to theorise the causes, effects, and possible responses to the problem. This article draws on the environmental sociological Treadmill of Production (ToP) theory to examine the role of the state in managing the crisis. The author presents the history of the Bohemian illegal waste problem and then describes and analyses relevant waste management policies in the Czech Republic, Germany, and the European Union in the light of the ToP theory, which hypothesises that environmental degradation is caused primarily by institutional political-economic forces, and that the protection of environmental quality can be achieved only through structural reform. The dilemma of illegal waste shipment highlights the difficult role of the government, which must balance its responsibilities to protect environmental quality and human health and promote commerce and economic growth in an international context. Data from interviews and documentary analysis are used to describe the case study and test the ToP theory. The author concludes that while the ToP theory is useful for analysing the illegal waste issue by highlighting the structural character of the problem, some refinement of the theory may be necessary to better understand this case study.

Nature has always had an important symbolic function in the ideology of the far right, reflected, in many cases, in the calls for local environmental protection that form an integral part of their nationalist and protectionist narratives. However, research also suggests that the far right uses green issues to gain legitimation and enter the mainstream political discourse. Our aim is to study how green issues are communicated by Slovakia’s far-right political party, Kotlebovci – Peopleʼs Party Our Slovakia. We analyse party members’ speeches in the Slovak national parliament and argue that green issues are used as a proxy for communicating the party’s ideological positions and to push other elements of the far-right agenda.

The fading financial and economic crisis in American and European territories has stressed the need to look at our current economic growth model through a new lens and to exploit new possibilities that are based on environmental and social sustainability. The crisis has created concrete opportunities for promoting a transition to green jobs and industries within the framework of Green Growth Strategy. This paper focuses on issues related to the impact of environmental policy on the labour market. The first part deals with the common understanding of the Green Growth Strategy, its objectives and priorities. The second part summarizes the main methodological problems connected with the impact of environmental policy on employment, and the third part analyses data about the interaction mentioned above in the Czech Republic. The paper concludes by characterizing the possible trends associated with the Green Growth Strategy, namely the impact of environmental policy on the labour market.

Agriculture is the area of human activity that is accompanied by the formation of positive and negative external environmental effects. In order to motivate farmers to conduct production activities in a way that reduces the negative impact of these activities on the environment, the so-called principle of cross compliance has been incorporated into the direct support system. This study characterises the area payments as an instrument of the environmental policy and is a review of the European Commission’s different proposals for the reform of direct payments through the prism of environmental functions of this instrument.

Successful climate change mitigation and adaptation depend on several factors that are crucial for the effective implementation of the environmental policy tools in a country. One of these is the people´s attitudes to this issue, their awareness about it, and their willingness to change their behaviour in a way that will contribute to a cleaner environment. In this paper, we present the results of analysis that examines the public attitudes to climate change in three selected countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, in comparison with other countries which participated in the survey. The analysis is based on data from the European Social Survey Round 8 collected from 2016-2017, on a sample of 44, 387 respondents from 23 countries. We analyse the attitudes related to climate change beliefs, concerns about climate change and energy security and energy preferences. The analysis confirmed the relationship between concerns about the energy affordability and energy dependency and energy supply. The final part of analysis refers to attitudes to the environmental policy tools. Financial incentives, taxation and other economic instruments are effective and efficient ways to meet environmental policy objectives and have to be set in a way that will contribute to successful climate change. The analysis confirmed the popularity of subsidised renewable energy in reducing climate change.
