Navigating the Jungle

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book presents the first empirical examination of interest group litigation about animal welfare and rights. It is unique in its research design, empirically rigorous, and shows how animal advocacy groups exercise their interests within the larger context of American government."

Richard Brisbin, West Virginia University

By using quantitative and qualitative data to explore how politics sits at the intersection between animal law and animal advocacy, Navigating the Jungle is an important and unique resource for litigators and advocates and has insights relevant to any social movement.

In NAVIGATING THE JUNGLE: LAW, POLITICS, AND THE ANIMAL ADVOCACY MOVEMENT, political scientist Steven C. Tauber makes an outstanding contribution to our understanding of social movement litigation... [T]his is an important work on an understudied subject. I am particularly impressed by the compelling use of vignettes to open most of the chapters that serve to draw the reader in and demonstrate the significance of the subject matter. Moreover, the use of mixed-methods is impressive and makes the book accessible to a wide range of scholars. I believe this book is a significant addition to the literature on animal law, social movement litigation, and judicial decision making. Further, it is appropriate for use in undergraduate, graduate, and law school courses on all of these topics.
