Environmental Policy and Politics, 4th Edition

Drawing from work within environmental science, policy analysis, and political science, this text critically assesses the key strengths and weaknesses of policymaking processes today, as well as the promise of new policy approaches. Arguing that strong public support is necessary for achieving environmental policy goals, the Fourth Edition stresses the opportunities available to all citizens to influence environmental politics at every level of government.
