About this title

Synopsis

Authoritative and trusted, Environmental Policy convenes top scholars to evaluate the impact of past environmental policy while anticipating its future implications, helping students decipher the underlying trends, institutional constraints, and policy dilemmas that shape environmental politics. The Ninth Edition offers coverage of the latest issues, including the energy and natural resource policy dilemmas, sustainable cities, and the environmental impact of food production and consumption.  A new concluding chapter ties the contributing chapters together with an assessment of the remaining environmental policy challenges for the 21st century.
