| Summary: | One objective of Brussels Studies is to encourage debate around scholarly articles containing proposals for public action. With this issue, under the heading “double vision”, we are inaugurating a new formula – a dialogue between academics from different disciplines – in this case two economists and a geographer ‑ on the highly controversial issue of noise pollution caused by air traffic at Brussels National. The former propose creating a market for noise emissions as a regulatory instrument, while the latter evokes political responsibility to regulate the matter, based on the principle of limiting the number of people submitted to noise from aircraft. |
