Recenzii
“This book provides a valuable guide to creating an environmental policy course, and the chapters are useful primers for students on these topics.”
“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.”
‘”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."

Descriere
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. You will learn to decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and policy dilemmas that shape today’s environmental politics.
The Tenth Edition examines how policy has changed within federal institutions and state and local governments, as well as how environmental governance affects private sector policies and practices. The book provides in-depth examinations of public policy dilemmas including fracking, food production, urban sustainability, and the viability of using market solutions to address policy challenges. Students will also develop a deeper understanding of global issues such as climate change governance, the implications of the Paris Agreement, and the role of environmental policy in the developing world. Students walk away with a measured yet hopeful evaluation of the future challenges policymakers will confront as the American environmental movement continues to affect the political process.
