Abstract
If we look back twenty years from now, will private governance be as much a part of environmental law and policy as market mechanisms, or will it have faded into the woodwork along with many other promising new developments? In this Essay, I briefly examine four issues that will play a large role in determining the answer to this question. Part I examines whether PEG is a coherent, discrete concept. Part II explores the extent to which PEG affects environmental behavior and environmental quality. Part III discusses the interactions between private and public environmental governance. Part IV then evaluates whether private governance offers new solutions to environmental problems. Part V concludes.
