title = "Disciplinary interactions: ontological commitments and environmental standard setting",
abstract = "The study focussed on the interactions of science and law in the context of the development of environmental regulation, in particular the development of standards to address diffuse pollution. It was based on two contentions: the first is that certain regulatory options are automatically excluded from the regulatory process without ever being discussed or considered; the second is that the theory of increasing path dependency (Arthur, 1994; Collins, 1985) can be applied to the regulatory process to explain this exclusion.",
