This introductory text demonstrates the ways in which politics and policy respond to environmental problems. Environment and Politics examines:
* institutional responses of parliaments
* responses of parties and electoral systems
* roles of non-governmental organizations and social movements
* the politics of business and industry.
To highlight the multiplicity of political responses to environmental challenges the text features a wealth of original boxed case studies from around the world.
