Political Science

Concise and yet thorough, Environmental Policy and Politics is an interdisciplinary, engaging, and up-to-date examination of environmental, natural resource, and energy policy and politics.

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 Third Edition stresses the opportunities available to all citizens to influence environmental politics at every level of government.

• Comprehensive and thorough enough to be used as the main text, but inexpensive and brief enough to be used as a supplement.

• Examines the latest critical arguments about environmental policies and proposals of new policy approaches.

• Material is presented objectively so that students are encouraged to draw their own conclusions about the severity of environmental problems and the response of the political system to these problems.

• Well-developed chapter introductions and conclusions help to clarify chapter material and maintain the overall flow of the argument and organization of the book.

• Chapter 8, “Environmental Policy and Politics for the Twenty-First Century,” has been recast to focus heavily on global environmental issues and policies.

• Includes expanded and updated Web resources for further examination of environmental topics.

• Makes greater use of text boxes to highlight major issues and facilitate student learning.

• Key environmental data has been updated throughout the text and reflected in the illustrations, tables and graphs, and “Suggested Reading” lists at the end of each chapter. All references have been updated for this edition with the most current work available.

• The comprehensive bibliography at the end of the text (rarely found in similar texts)—facilitating a review of sources and citing other works that students may want to consult—has been thoroughly updated for this edition.

Each chapter concludes with a “Conclusions” and “Suggested Readings.”
