As global environmental changes become increasingly evident and
efforts to respond to these changes fall short of expectations,
questions about the circumstances that generate environmental
reforms become more pressing. Defensive Environmentalists and the
Dynamics of Global Reform answers these questions through a
historical analysis of two processes that have contributed to
environmental reforms, one in which people become defensive
environmentalists concerned about environmental problems close to
home and another in which people become altruistic
environmentalists intent on alleviating global problems after
experiencing catastrophic events such as hurricanes, droughts and
fires. These focusing events make reform more urgent and convince
people to become altruistic environmentalists. Bolstered by
defensive environmentalists, the altruists gain strength in
environmental politics and reforms occur.
