This book is the second collection of systematic case studies
describing national environmental policies in 17 countries in terms
of capacity building (see Appen dix). The OECD defines
environmental capacity building as "a society's ability to identify
and solve environmental problems. " While various institutions,
including UNEP, FAO, World Bank and OECD, have hitherto used the
terms environmental capacity and capacity building almost
exclusively with reference to developing countries, we have
extended the concepts to industrialized countries, as well. The
first collection, edited by Martin Janicke, Helge Joergens (both
Free University Berlin) and Helmut Weidner (Social Science Research
Center Berlin), was pub lished in 1997 under the title "National
Environmental Policies - A Comparative Study of Capacity-Building"
(Berlin, etc.: Springer Verlag). It included 13 studies of
countries. As in the first volume, chapter I presents the
conceptual framework underlying the national case studies. It is a
slightly shorter version of the corresponding chap ter in volume I.
The design of all case studies in the two volumes is largely con
gruent with this conceptual framework. Although the various
sections of the stud ies do not always have identical titles and
subtitles, the central elements of the capacity-building approach
have been applied in all cases."
