Description
The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of European policy-making in relation to environmental issues at a national and community-wide level. The editors have brought together some of Europe's leading environmental policy authorities in unique research and practical experience to examine how frameworks for analysis and action and the emergence of appropriate institutions is being managed and developed. The book divides into two parts, the first examines policy making and institutional management at the supra-national level, while the second considers national and local issues and responses. Throughout the focus is comparative and cast in terms of effective environmental management within the context of a democratic European Community. Particular stress is laid on rural/agricultural issues, acid rain, and effective regulation, as well as the role of environmental pressure groups and green politics.
