The book Environmental Principles and Policies: An Interdisciplinary Introduction, written by Professor Sharon Beder, examines six well-known environmental and social principles that have been used at the international and national level. It uses them to evaluate the new wave of market-based policy instruments that have been introduced in many countries.^{[citation needed]}

Six principles[]

The six principles discussed in the book are:

• the sustainability principle
• the polluter pays principle
• the precautionary principle
• the equity principle
• the human rights principles
• the participation principle^{[citation needed]}

Interdisciplinary approach[]

This book on environmental policy-making takes a critical and interdisciplinary approach. Rather than merely setting out policy options in a descriptive way, it evaluates policies from different perspectives. This enables readers to gain a thorough understanding of important principles and current policies, and also to be able to apply the various principles and critically evaluate them.^{[citation needed]}
