Completely revised throughout, and including five new chapters,
this second edition of Environmental Politics and Policy provides
an updated review and synthesis of the political science literature
on the subject of environmental politics and policy. Various
chapters by leading scholars in the field analyze and describe the
role of public opinion, interest groups, political parties,
Congress, the Executive Branch, the Courts, and elites as they have
influenced the formation of U.S. environmental policies over the
past twenty-five years. The book also provides ideas for future
research and will stimulate thinking about the subject in the 1990s
and beyond.From reviews of the First Edition:
