In combination these two dimensions have fostered a division between northern countries (defending a strict pollution control policy) and southern countries (fighting against soil erosion, forest fires ...) in environmental policy. Southern countries, along with Ireland, have got the EU to approve the cohesion fund as a mechanism for financing environmental measures, among others, in the poorer European countries. © Beech Tree Publishing 1995 Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/3(1995-06), 189-194 0302-3427 22:3<189 1995 22 spp https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.3.189 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/spp/22.3.189 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Fernández Susana Aguilar Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Salamanca, Campus Miguel de Uriamuno, 37007 Salamanca, Spain NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Science and Public Policy Beech Tree Publishing 22/3(1995-06), 189-194 0302-3427 22:3<189 1995 22 spp Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
