Environmental values and concerns are meant to be reflected
through environmental policy, which is then integrated into
mainstream economic and social policy that serves to govern society
and the economy in different sectors. Yet effective environmental
policy integration has proved to be very difficult in practice and
it remains largely an elusive aspiration.
This groundbreaking volume presents the first ever detailed
examination of EPI at the national policy level, focusing on the
key sectors of energy and agriculture within Sweden, a country that
is widely recognized as a front runner in environmental management.
The authors deconstruct EPI, look at what it means in policy
formation and examine how environmental priorities are treated in
relation to other political priorities. The final section of the
book lays out the major findings and presents key lessons for
international application, including institutional recommendations
on how to enhance the potential for EPI. Most fundamentally, the
book answers the questions of what works for EPI, why it works, and
how it can be achieved in practice across sectors. The result is a
rich and indispensable guide for all those involved in
environmental and sustainable development policy issues.
