Anyone serious about integrating environmental factors into
planning and policy making will gain new insights and ideas from
Fischer s book on SEA; and students, teachers and practitioners of
the subject will find the book essential. Leonard Ortolano,
Professor at Stanford University, USA Fischer s book demystifies
the process and substantive analytical dimensions of SEA. Offering
solidly documented empirical evidence of the value of SEA to
development, the knowledge captured in this book is a great
contribution to the practice. Linda Ghanime, Environmental
Operations and Policy Adviser, United Nations Development Program
This book is an invaluable reference text for SEA practitioners. I
recommend it to everyone! Xu He, Professor and Director of the
Strategic Environmental Assessment Center at Nankai University,
China Fischer gives a concise and wellstructured account of SEA as
it is used today. Readers thus will gain important insights into
SEA: why it is important, how it works, and what it can and should
achieve. Professor Thomas Bunge, Federal Environment Agency,
Germany Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a fast-growing
and rapidly evolving professional field driven by both advances in
theory and practice and by regulatory requirements in Europe, North
America, Australasia, South Africa and increasingly across Asia.
However, to date, analysis of existing practice and associated
reporting has remained far from systematic and there has been a
clear need for a comprehensive textbook to facilitate teaching,
learning and practice in this burgeoning field. This textbook, the
first of its kind, provides for a state-ofthe-art review of SEA
theory and practice and promotes a more systematic approach to SEA.
It is written for a wide student, professional and academic
audience and aims particularly at supporting the development of SEA
modules in undergraduate and postgraduate planning, environmental
assessment, engineering and law courses. It provides an overview of
the fundamental principles and rules of SEA, reports systematically
on international SEA practice and theory and pushes the envelope by
developing the theory. Supporting material includes boxed examples
and case studies from around the world, extra reading suggestions
and a glossary of terms. This is the essential book for all
students, professionals and academics in SEA and EIA and follow-up
worldwide.
