Environmental policy is often practiced reactively with each crisis
addressed as an isolated event. Focusing on development of
proactive policies, Global Environment Policy: Concepts,
Principles, and Practice provides the essential scientific and
socioeconomic framework for formulating pragmatic and comprehensive
environmental policies. It discusses topics of interest to American
and international audiences. Beginning with basic concepts, the
book proceeds successively on to more advanced principles,
theories, and practices for developing and implementing
comprehensive environmental policy solutions. Topics are introduced
in a logical, yet connected, user-friendly manner. Using practical
case studies and examples, the book illustrates both the power and
limitations of theoretical approaches. It defines the scope and
nature of the environmental policy problem, outlining its origins
and evolution, and introduces the policy frameworks of the United
Nations, European Union, and the United States. Each chapter begins
with a case study and ends with a problem set; the questions are
designed to elicit practical and critical thinking. The book ends
with two capstone problems that exemplify nearly every major topic
and aspect presented in this book. Upon completion, students should
possess the competency required to examine a real world problem,
evaluate it in terms of the concepts, principles, and tools
described throughout the book, and develop a practical policy
solution for resolving that problem.
