Authoritative and trusted, Environmental Policy once again brings together top scholars to evaluate the changes and continuities in American environmental policy since the late 1960s and their implications for the twenty-first century. Students will learn to decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and policy dilemmas that shape today's environmental politics.
Reviews / Votes
"This book provides a valuable guide to creating an environmental policy course, and the chapters are useful primers for students on these topics." -- Raymond M. Lodato "The book's greatest strength is its coverage of both politics and policy and an awareness of how political and structural factors influence environmental policy. I also think that some of the chapters are very well-written and offer some helpful tables and charts, and an abundance of good links to websites." -- Robert Duffy '"Excellent overview of the role of federal institutions in environmental policy...thoughtful examination of various approaches to environmental policy, including regulatory, market-based, and voluntary approaches." -- Melissa K.
