Abstract: | Background The question of what should be the right level of preparedness to react to a major oil spill (i.e. the EXXON VALDEZ spill,
the ERIKA spill, and the PRESTIGE spill) is highly debated, especially in the aftermath of such spills. Little research, however,
has been conducted with the aim to identify and compare governments’ best practices not only to fund preparedness measures
but also to assess the countries’ ability to respond effectively to catastrophic oil spills. It is the author’s belief that
important lessons can be learnt from a comparative analysis of countries’ best practices. |
