dc.descriptionThis policy brief is based on SANDEE working paper no. 6-04, "Informal regulation of pollution in a developing country : empirical evidence from India"en
dc.description.abstractIndia has some of the best environmental regulations in the world. Yet, pollution abounds and environmental degradation has almost become the norm. Formal regulatory institutions in India, as in many developing countries, are plagued with inefficiencies that make implementation of regulatory policies very difficult. In such a situation, it is small wonder that NGOs, the press and other civil society organizations have taken on the role of pollution vigilantes. However, does such nongovernmental informal pressure work? Can the media, particularly the vernacular press, act as a means of informal regulation in pollution control? A recent SANDEE study in India examines the impact of press coverage on pollution and concludes that informal regulations can have an impact on pollution.en
