At every stage, environmental policy is the result of the combat of
stakeholders interested in, and affected by, the problem being
addressed and the range of possible solutions. The combatants
include any or all of the following: the federal government,
environmental advocacy groups, and business, the media, the
scientific community, think tanks, NGOs of every stripe, trade
associations and professional organizations, and even state and
local governments, each of whom have their own interests in the
resulting policy. Environmental Politics: Interest Groups, the
Media, and the Making of Policy discusses political battles over
the environment from ground level - as they are fought in
legislative chambers, the daily newspaper, on television, and,
increasingly, on the Internet. The text explores environmental
politics as a clash of interests, not ideologies, and environmental
policy as a result of the reconciliation of those interests. The
author covers not only the conventional aspects of the policymaking
process but more recent and less recognized elements and
developments such as: Proliferation of legislative riders and
monument designations as major environmental strategies Evolving
role of the media, from science popularizer to agenda setter
Growing influence on both Congress and the public of conservative
and libertarian foundations and think tanks Devolution of
environmental power from the Federal to state governments
Metamorphosis of EPA in a business-driven regulatory revolution
Effect of globalization on US environmental policy Newly emerging
role of the precautionary principle in marrying science and
politics Increasing role of the Internet in promoting populist
issues and promoting the decentralization of the environmental
power structure No other book covers the politics of the
environment the way this one does. Written by an expert with 25
years of experience in environmental policymaking, Environmental
Politics: Interest Groups, the Media, and the Making of Policy
gives you an insider's view of how policies are forged. By
examining these issues through an interest group lens, this book
not only accounts for what policies have been adopted but also
shows how you can influence policy and effect change.
